UCD, who have the fewest points (0) away in Premier Division, only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 0 draws. The manager C. O'Neill is not happy with the away performances so far, as all 8 matches have been lost. UCD are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost eight in a row. It's been 5 days since they avoided defeat. (The Cork City game.) Bitter travels for UCD as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Shelbourne.

UCD failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Cork City that ended with defeat 0-1. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Shamrock Rovers.
