UCD, Recent FormIn the aftermath of a 4-0 away mauling at the hands of Shamrock Rovers, the UCD team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team.
Despite scoring 4 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 21 goals in that same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games, and so far this season they have failed to score in 10 of their 20 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for The Students, having gone without a win in their last 10 league games and lost the last 8 in a row.
Sligo Rovers, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Shelbourne in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Sligo Rovers last time out.
Having conceded 10 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have conceded at least one goal in 9 of their 10 away games this season.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Max Mata has given the travelling Sligo Rovers support something to shout about on the road.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was UCD who ended up empty-handed, losing 3-1 to Sligo Rovers.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 5 away matches against UCD in the league, The Bit O'Reds have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend. The Students have struggled to keep Sligo at bay when these two teams have met at UCD Bowl, during the last 3 times they have hosted Sligo in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Sligo has taken all 3 points and has not lost to UCD in 3 games.
Max Mata has scored in each of Sligo's last league game against UCD.
There is only really one injury concern for the UCD manager Andy Myler ahead of this clash, with Mark Dignam (Muscle) missing out, which gives Myler a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With both Gary Boylan (Cruciate ligament) and Mark Byrne (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Garry Buckley (Cruciate ligament), James Finnerty (Achilles tendon) and Karl O'Sullivan (Ligament) all unavailable in the shorter term, Sligo manager John Russell will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
