Wexford Youths form and stats

With 1 First Division win, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Wexford Youths are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The fans are hoping that Wexford will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the First Division game against Shelbourne (placed 1st). 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.

Before that match, a FAI Cup win away at Killester Donnycarney.

Wexford Youths has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Wexford are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (22 from 10 played).

Cobh Ramblers form and stats

Cobh Ramblers have only collected 8 points from their away games in the First Division, after 2-2-7 (11 played). It's a growing despair in Ramblers as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Cobh Ramblers lost away at Treaty United (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

It was a FAI Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Maynooth Univ. wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Cobh Ramblers have conceded 21 goals in their away games.
