Wexford Youths hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 6 points and a 7th position in the First Division table. Visiting Drogheda United holds 4th place with 15 pts.
It's no vacation for neither Wexford nor Drogheda United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Wexford Youths form and stats
Wexford Youths have played three First Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Ferrycarrig Park, but a victory now would be sweet for Wexford Youths.
K. Simon was the last player to score a league goal for Wexford Youths and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Wexford Youths haven't scored in 285 minutes.
Wexford faced defeat in their previous match, away at Cobh Ramblers (0-4). Heartbreak before that as Wexford lost 0-2 at Shamrock Rovers II's place.
Wexford Youths were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The lack of attacking qualities in Wexford means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Wexford have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
