A 2-2 draw and a point gained against Shamrock Rovers in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for St. Patrick's Athletic last time out.  

Supremo Tim Clancy will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 5 goals they've managed to net.  They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.

With Bohemian FC sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, UCD won't feel totally dejected with their 2-1 away defeat by them last time out.  

Whilst they have scored a reasonable 4 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 15 goals in the same period.  Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels.  They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 19 games.  

UCD will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 5 league games in a row no wins in 7 games.  

Mark Dignam will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against St. Patrick's Athletic in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for UCD.
