Wexford take on Kilkenny in the final weekend of the round robin stage of the Leinster Hurling Championship. Wexford need a victory and hope other results go their way if they are to leapfrog Dublin in third place and qualify for the knockout phase of the All-Ireland Championship, whereas Kilkenny’s place in the Leinster final is secured. The match will be thrown in at 14:00 GMT on Sunday 25th May in Wexford Park, and with regards to what channel is Wexford v Kilkenny on, no viewing information is available at this moment. Stay tuned for our Wexford vs Kilkenny prediction.

🏆 Wexford v Kilkenny Prediction

Kilkenny arrive in top form, having made it 4 wins from four with victories over Galway, Antrim, Offaly and Dublin. Their impressive +48 score difference highlights just how dominant they've been in the 2025 Leinster campaign so far.

Wexford come into this with two wins and two defeats, their victories coming against the bottom sides Antrim and, more recently, Offaly. Losses to Dublin and Galway have left them with a neutral score difference of 0.

On paper, Kilkenny will likely be too strong for Wexford if they choose to put out their strongest team. That said, with a Leinster final on the horizon, management may opt to rotate. Still, they'll be keen to maintain momentum and match sharpness ahead of the decider, and we expect them to do enough here to claim the win and bring Wexford’s 2025 campaign to an end.

✔️ Wexford v Kilkenny Betting Tips

Now we will look at our Wexford vs Kilkenny betting tips. You may think about using these tips if you have any free bet offers with any bookmakers.

  • Tip 1: Kilkenny to Win: Based on quality and form.
  • Kilkenny will likely be the strong favourites for this one when the betting odds for this clash become available. Kilkenny are in excellent form and possess an abundance of attacking talent in the form of TJ Reid, Martin Keoghan and Adrian Mullen with the trio scoring 1-9, 1-2 and 1-1 respectively in their last match versus Dublin. We are tipping Kilkenny to get the win away to Wexford.

  • Tip 2: Over 3.5 goals: Based on recent matches.
  • In the last three games between these two sides there has been a total of 14 goals, which works out at an average of 4.66 goals per match. In the Leinster Championship to this point Kilkenny have scored 14 goals in four matches, which is an average of 3.5 goals per game. Wexford have scored 10 goals in four matches which is an average of 2.5 goals per game. The stats point to plenty of goals in this game.

  • Tip 3: TJ Reid to score a goal anytime: Based on quality.
  • TJ Reid is one of the greatest hurlers of all time and is coming into this game in his usual excellent form scoring 1-9 versus Dublin and 2-9 versus Offaly in the two matches he has played in the Leinster Championship to this point. There is a possibility that TJ Reid will be rested for the Leinster final but if he does play in this game, there is a strong chance he will keep his goal streak going.

⚽ Wexford Squad Form

Wexford are coming into this game off the back of a late win versus Offaly where a stoppage time Lee Chin goal gave them the victory on a scoreline of 2-17 to 1-17. They are currently fourth in the table and will need a win and hope that Dublin are defeated by Galway by a strong margin as they are 18 points behind Dublin in score difference.

⚽ Kilkenny Squad Form

Kilkenny booked their place in the Leinster final after a strong performance last time out versus Dublin, winning on a scoreline of 5-19 to 3-21. Kilkenny have four wins out of four and will have no jeopardy heading into this game.
