Wexford Youths are welcoming Shamrock Rovers II for another important game after their 5-1 result against 4th-placed Cabinteely.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Wexford Youths form and stats
Wexford Youths's struggle is real here at Ferrycarrig Park with only 3 points collected from 6 First Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-3-3. Three consecutive losses here at Ferrycarrig Park is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Athlone Town (0-1).
As mentioned above, Wexford "killed" Cabinteely in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Wexford Youths has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 6 games. On the other hand, Wexford have conceded 8 goals.
Shamrock Rovers II form and stats
Shamrock Rovers II, who have the fewest points (3) away in First Division, have only collected 3 points from their away games in the First Division, after 1-0-6 (7 played). With the Shamrock losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Shamrock are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Drogheda United wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
As you can tell from the result, the match against UCD was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
Shamrock are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and one defeat. From a total of one match.
The visiting Shamrock have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 7 games. Shamrock struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 12 goals conceded from these games.
