UCD hope to sell all tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 4 points and a 9th position in the Premier Division table. Visiting Waterford United holds 5th place with 10.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League Cup. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
