Longford Town vs Wexford Prediction
Longford Town vs Wexford - 2026-07-25 18:30 : First Division
Preview
Alright, let's get straight into it. I'm Pajimon, and if you're not here for the win, you're just wasting your time and your hard-earned cash. We're looking at a First Division clash between Longford Town and Wexford, and the stats paint a pretty clear picture of where the value lies. I love a good braai and a cold beer after a match, but right now, I'm focused on getting this bet right. Let's break down the numbers.
Longford Town are absolutely flying at home. Over their last four home matches, they've secured a 75% win rate, scoring an average of 1.75 goals per game while keeping their defence relatively tight at 1.25 goals conceded. Across their last 10 games overall, they've won 60% of the time, averaging 2.60 goals scored and 1.80 conceded. They just sent a massive message with that 8-0 FAI Cup demolition of Baldoyle United, proving their attack is clicking into gear. Their points per game sits at a solid 1.90, and their goal-scoring trend is actively improving. The mathematical analysis shows a positive slope of 0.4606 for goals scored, with a 3-game moving average hitting 4.67 goals. Their RSI sits at 71.43, indicating strong momentum heading into this fixture.
On the other side, Wexford are struggling to find any rhythm, especially when they have to travel. Their away form is frankly alarming: a 0% win rate, 20% draw rate, and a brutal 80% loss rate over their last five away fixtures. They're averaging just 0.80 goals scored per game on the road, while conceding 2.20. Over their last 10 matches overall, they've only managed one win, sitting at a dismal 0.60 points per game. Their points trend is declining, and their consistency score is sitting at a rock-bottom 0.00%. The mathematical analysis shows a negative slope of -0.0242 for points, with a 3-game moving average of just 0.33 points. Their RSI is at 50.00, showing zero momentum.
The head-to-head record heavily favours the home side. In the last 10 meetings, Longford have won 5, drawn 3, and lost just 2. When these two met earlier this season on May 8th, Longford took a comfortable 2-1 victory. The goal expectancy model puts Longford's attack at 1.98 expected goals against Wexford's 1.02. With the home win priced at 2.50, the bookmakers are offering a fair price on a side that dominates at home and faces a visitor that rarely wins away. The implied probability is 40%, but Longford's actual win probability based on form and venue sits well above that.
Key Points:
- Longford Town boast a 75% home win rate in their last four matches.
- Wexford have lost 80% of their last five away games, averaging 0.80 goals scored.
- Head-to-head record shows 5 wins for Longford in the last 10 meetings.
- Longford's recent form includes a 60% win rate and 2.60 goals scored per game.
- Home win odds of 2.50 offer clear value given the statistical edge.
Summary: The data heavily favours the home side. Longford's dominant home form and Wexford's poor away record create a clear value opportunity. Recommended Bet: Home Win.
