Cobh Ramblers form and stats

Cobh Ramblers are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the First Division, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Recent form does not give Cobh Ramblers much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Longford Town will be a tough nut to crack.

Ramblers are looking to quickly end their 270 minutes long goal drought in the First Division.

Cobh Ramblers might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Waterford United proved too strong as Cobh Ramblers slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at St. Coleman's Park. Ramblers lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Galway United's place.

Cobh Ramblers have another game that requires travelling in just three days, a First Division fixture vs Wexford Youths. A difficult diary for the guests!
