Season ticket holders at Ferrycarrig Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Wexford Youths languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Bray Wanderers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Wexford Youths form and stats

With 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Wexford Youths, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in First Division, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

In their previous game, the manager B. O'Sullivan led his Wexford Youths to a defeat in the First Division match away at Shelbourne. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Ferrycarrig Park. 1-1 away at Cobh Ramblers before that.

Wexford Youths aren't scoring a lot here at Ferrycarrig Park with only 9 goals from 10 games. Wexford Youths's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
