UCD form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Premier Division away game of the season. During their previous season 18 away games resulted in 3 wins, 3 draws and 12 defeats.

UCD failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Sligo Rovers (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 2-3.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Dundalk that ended 1-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and UCD playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 2 away wins, 1 draw and 1 home win.

A new game in only three days for UCD, the Premier Division home match versus Derry City. Busy days.

UCD have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head
