UCD, Recent FormAfter a crushing 7-0 away loss to St. Patrick's Athletic, the UCD squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad.
They have bagged 5 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 22 times in that period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games, and so far this season they have failed to score in 11 of their 22 games.
Recent form is something they will be looking to turn around, having recorded 5 defeats from their last 6 matches. With 17 defeats across 22 games in the league this season, their form has been very disappointing.
Shelbourne, Recent FormShelbourne will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Derry City last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 44% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Derry City, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 5 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, but this season they have failed to score in 5 of 10 games on the raod.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 10 away league games.
Jack Moylan has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against UCD.
UCD suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Shelbourne the last time they met in the league.
The Shels will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets at UCD Bowl when they visit UCD. In their past 5 meetings, Shelbourne's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so The Students will have to take their chances when they come.
It's been a long time since Shelbourne have lost this fixture, having picked up points against UCD in 11 league games in a row.
Seán Boyd has scored in each of Shelbourne's last 0 league games against UCD.
With only Mark Dignam (Muscle) and Sam Todd (Knock) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Andy Myler will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Damien Duff has a number of injury concerns in his Shelbourne squad to contend with: Kian Leavy (Knock), Brian McManus (Knee surgery) and Matty Smith (Muscle)
