UCD form and stats

UCD, who have the fewest points (0) away in Premier Division, have only collected 0 points from their away games after 0-0-7 (7 played). UCD have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 7 away matches played so far. It's looking increasingly bleak for UCD who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Cork City was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three consecutive losses in away matches means UCD are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

UCD play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Finn Harps. A loss against Sligo Rovers was the result prior to that, in a home game.

UCD are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels and have only managed 2 goals from 7 away games. The UCD manager C. O'Neill has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; UCD - Cork City 2-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Cork City 6 wins, 0 draws and UCD 4 victories.
