UCD form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for UCD, who have the fewest points (0) away in Premier Division, so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-9 (win-draw-lose). The manager C. O'Neill is not happy with the away performances so far, as all 9 matches have been lost. UCD are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Cork City fixture. six defeats in a row for UCD in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Shelbourne.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier Division home defeat versus St Patrick's with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 1-3 defeat away at Dundalk before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Finn Harps in just four days.

UCD are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels and have only managed 2 goals from 9 away games. UCD have conceded 20 goals in these games.
