UCD form and stats
With 2 Premier Division wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, UCD are certainly not brimming with confidence. When UCD hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like UCD, Cork City and Sligo Rovers), they have won 2 of 3 matches!
UCD haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 185 minutes ago. Doyle scored that one.
UCD suffered a slightly shocking loss 0-4 against Shelbourne in their previous game, also played in front of their own fans. As you see from the result above, UCD suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Prior to that, an away loss at St Patrick's.The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Drogheda United to win. Let's see if UCD are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 11 games found revealing 0 UCD wins, 1 draw and 10 defeats.
Goal fest? We don't know about this one, but we do know that 9 of the 10 most recent league games with this team has seen three goals or more.
