An important duel in the bottom section of the First Division, with both Wexford Youths and Cork City experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 9th place.
- Wexford Youths have the fewest scored goals (12) in First Division
- Cork City have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (5) in First Division
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Wexford Youths form and stats
Wexford Youths's results here at Ferrycarrig Park in the First Division have been very modest with 0 victories, 1 draw and 6 defeats. With seven home First Division games in a row without a win, the Wexford fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Cabinteely game long ago, can be stopped today.
Wexford Youths are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus UCD. Heartbreak for Wexford in their last match as UCD's E. Caffrey scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 4-4 versus Athlone Town.Wexford Youths are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Wexford have allowed the opposition to score 18 goals here at Ferrycarrig Park.
Cork City form and stats
Cork City have only collected 5 points from their away games in the First Division, after 1-2-4 (7 played).
Cork City's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Bray Wanderers that finished 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against Bray Wanderers after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager C. Healy needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Treaty United.The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Cork City - Wexford 5-0 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Wexford won zero games, two matches ended with a draw and Cork City has eight wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourTop Goalscorers
