Only a few games have been played in the First Division so far, with UCD placed 4th and Longford Town sitting in the 3rd position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
UCD form and stats
The hosts won their first First Division game here at UCD Bowl, lifting spirits. Home statistics for UCD last season were 5 wins, 1 draw and 12 losses from 18 games.
UCD faced defeat in their previous match, away at Drogheda United (1-5). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Cobh Ramblers.
