Wexford lost to Galway (2-15 to 0-15) at Pierce Stadium in February in this year’s Allianz Harling League clash. Wexford have won all five of their Group A games before losing to Waterford in the semifinals. Galway finished third in 1A, winning three of their five games and losing two.
There has been a lack of goals in recent Galway-Wexford Championship games. Only three goals have been scored in the last four games of 2017-18-19-20 (2-1 to Galway).
Galway boss Henry Shefflin, new to the championship, is in his first season but has plenty of experience playing against Model County. He was one of eleven Kilkenny teams who won ten of the championship games played at Wexford. The only defeat was in the 2004 Leinster semifinals.
