Wexford Youths form and stats

Wexford Youths, who have the fewest points (2) away in First Division, have only collected 2 points from their away games after 0-2-9 (11 played). Wexford Youths are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Athlone Town fixture. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Wexford Youths have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the St Patrick's game.

Wexford Youths are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Cobh Ramblers. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Galway United.

The attacking power of Wexford Youths when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored in 11 matches. The Wexford Youths manager B. O'Sullivan has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Wexford Youths - Shelbourne 1-2 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 6 wins for Shelbourne, 1 draw and 3 wins for Wexford Youths. Over 2,5 goals: 6 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.
