Shelbourne, Recent FormShelbourne had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Drogheda United.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Shelbourne, Seán Boyd will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
UCD, Recent FormWith Dundalk sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, UCD won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 home defeat by them last time out.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. With 13 played this season, they've failed to score in 7 games and have conceded at least 1 goal in 11.
UCD will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 5 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 6 games.
Mark Dignam will be hoping to create problems for Shelbourne in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for UCD.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Shelbourne have scored in each of their last 8 games at home in the league against The Students. UCD have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Shelbourne. In their past 5 meetings, The Shels' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so UCD will have to take their chances when they come.
The last 2 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but Shelbourne might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 10 encounters.
Seán Boyd has scored in each of Shelbourne's last 2 league games against UCD.
Shelbourne 1 - 1 UCDShelbourne manager Damien Duff has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Seán Boyd (Nose surgery), Mark Coyle (Knock), Conor Kane (Knee) and Gavin Molloy (Ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Mark Dignam (Muscle) and Sam Todd (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Andy Myler will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
