Wexford Youths form and stats

Wexford Youths have collected 3 points from their First Division home games so far after 0-3-1. It's trouble wherever Wexford are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Wexford Youths are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-8 away versus UCD. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Longford Town (1-3).

As you see from the result above, Wexford suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Wexford have scored 1 goal here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. 4 goals have been conceded.
