Wexford, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 2-4 First Division triumph over 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.
