Wexford are hoping to win again after their last result, a 2-4 First Division triumph against Cobh Ramblers.

Wexford have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, hitting the target every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 matches.

They have totted up the amount of 14 during that time and have conceded a total of 11. We will see if that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Since being beaten in their last game against Bray Wanderers in First Division action, Longford Town and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

Max Murphy (64\') was the scorer for Bray Wanderers.

The stats tell the story, and Longford Town have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals overall. At the back, Longford Town seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly.

Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head meetings dating back to 24/06/2022, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Wexford winning 3 of those games, Longford Town 3 and 0 being draws in regulation time.

A total of 15 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 7 from The Warriors and 8 for The Town. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.5.

The previous league contest featuring these sides was First Division match day 31 on 25/09/2023 when the final score was Wexford 2-0 Longford Town.

Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Wexford will, in all likelihood, see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities. In contrast, Longford Town will not find it easy to score themselves but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet. We’re therefore expecting to see a 3-1 winning margin for Wexford when all’s said and done.
