The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. St Patrick's are in the 5th position while the guests worry at 10th.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

UCD form and stats

UCD, who have the fewest points (1) away in Premier Division, have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Premier Division, after 0-1-13 (14 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row. It's a growing despair in UCD as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

It might be tough going out on the road again for UCD, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Sligo Rovers (placed 6th). A loss against Dundalk was the result prior to that, in a Premier Division home game.

Goals are few and far between in UCD's away league games. Only 4 goals from 14 travels. The UCD defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 45 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

UCD - St Patrick's 0-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): St Patrick's won 7 games, 2 matches ended with a draw and UCD has 1 win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 6 / 4
