UCD, Recent FormUCD manager Andy Myler will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-0 home defeat by Shelbourne.
Despite scoring 4 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 23 goals in that same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games, and playing at home this season, they've failed to score in 6 of their 11 games.
With 5 defeats in their last 6 outings, they will be looking for a significant change in their current run of form. With 18 defeats across 23 games in the league this season, their form has been very disappointing.
Drogheda United, Recent FormAn important point secured against Shamrock Rovers will have left Drogheda United quite happy with their 0-0 draw. In that game they had 33% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Shamrock Rovers who had 16 attempts and 2 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
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.
Freddie Draper will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Drogheda United.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 3-1 win for Drogheda United.
Goals should be on the cards for The Drogs in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against UCD in their last 8 meetings together. Playing at home, UCD have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Drogheda.
Drogheda has won the last 2 games they've played against UCD in the league.
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.
Drogheda manager Kevin Doherty has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
