Derry City travelled for their previous game, a trip to Drogheda United that ended 1-1.
Before that game, the home loss against Shelbourne with the scoreline 1-2.Derry are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. Derry City are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
UCD form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Premier Division, are W0-D1-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Premier Division. UCD are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Bray Wanderers fixture.
This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus St Patrick's with 1-2 on the scoreboard.
A loss against Drogheda United was the result prior to that, in a home game.With the home team stated as having a victory chance of approximately 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the away side would be a surprise. Inspecting previous matches with similar odds and UCD as the visiting side, we found four results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, one draw and three defeats. The away team lost three of these games by at least two goals.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. UCD are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 4 goals in these matches.
