Wexford Youths form and stats

Wexford Youths have only collected 7 points from their away games in the First Division, after 2-1-4 (7 played).

Wexford have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 207 minutes ago. Dunne was the goal scorer.

It's the second away game in a row for Wexford Youths, but there's smiles all around after the 4-0 victory versus Kerry (placed 10th) last time out. Those three points felt nice as this club had gone three league games without winning. As mentioned above, Wexford Youths was the only team on the pitch versus Kerry in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Longford Town.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Wexford Youths have conceded 11 goals in these games.
