Prediction
Weโre inclined to think that Longford Town have enough to find the back of the net against this Wexford side, however a single goal likely wonโt be as many as the goals that they could concede.
Therefore, we think that itโs going to be a very close game with a 1-2 advantage for Wexford by the conclusion of the game. Letโs see what happens here.
