Wexford head into this match following on from a 2-2 First Division draw versus Longford Town.

Wexford have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, finding the back of the net in one hundred percent of their last 6 matches.

They’ve hit an aggregate of 15 during that time while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 11. Such a trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, of course.

Taking a look at their past results, Wexford:

• are unbeaten in the league by UCD in their previous 2 games.
• are undefeated in their last 3 league matches at home.

In their previous game, UCD drew 0-0 in the First Division match with Cork City.

A sequence of effective showings by the UCD defenders has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their previous 6 outings in total. Over that same time, their forwards have scored 9.

 Head to head

An examination of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 21/02/2020 tells us that Wexford have won 2 of them & UCD 3, with the tally of drawn matches being 1.

Loads of goals were seen in those games, too – 25 in all which averages out at 4.17 goals per meeting.

The previous league contest featuring these sides was First Division match day 4 on 08/03/2024 when it ended UCD 1-2 Wexford.

 Team News: UCD

Due to a completely injury-free group available for selection, the UCD boss Andy Myler has zero fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this game.

 Prediction

Our feeling is that UCD will surely be able to get a goal against this Wexford lineup, but it may not be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re tipping a close game with a 2-1 victory for Wexford when all is said and done. Definitely a tough call.
