Competition: Republic of Ireland Premier Division
Date: Fri 17.May
Match begins: 18:45 (UTC)
Venue: UCD Bowl (3000 seats)

The visiting Shamrock Rovers side should be favourites in this visit to UCD, as the away team holds a 24 point advantage from their 16 league games this season.

UCD and Shamrock Rovers should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

UCD form and stats

The story so far for UCD, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Premier Division, at their home stadium (UCD Bowl) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. It's trouble wherever UCD are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for UCD, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

In their previous game, the manager C. O'Neill led his UCD to a defeat in the Premier Division match away at Cork City. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at UCD Bowl. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Finn Harps (0-3).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier Division game versus Cork City in only three days. This game is also played here at UCD Bowl.

UCD has scored 11 goals at home this season, in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the UCD defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Shamrock Rovers form and stats

Playing away, Shamrock Rovers have won 5 games, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats so far this season. Shamrock Rovers has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Two away games in a row for Shamrock Rovers, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Sligo Rovers in the Premier Division. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus St Patrick's.

The schedule is very tough for Shamrock Rovers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier Division game at Finn Harps is waiting in only three days.

Shamrock Rovers have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, 8 away games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
