Cork City, Recent FormWith Shamrock Rovers sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Cork City won't feel totally dejected with their 2-1 away defeat by them last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Shamrock Rovers, who had 17 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Liam Buckley where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 11 in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 21 of their 26 games overall.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
UCD, Recent FormUCD won't feel too deflated by the 2-0 away defeat to Bohemian FC, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They achieved 31% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Bohemian FC's tally of 21 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Andy Myler will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 3 goals, conceded 21, and picked up a meagre 3 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they've conceded at least one goal in their 19 most recent away games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for The Students, having gone without an away league win in their last 13 games and losing the last 12 games in a row on the road.
Adam Wells will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Cork City in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for UCD.
Cork City suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of UCD the last time they met in the league.
The Students defence has struggled at Turners Cross Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits.
In the past Cork City have managed to keep the visitors in this home league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 10 games in a row.
UCD 1 - 0 Cork CityCork City 1 - 1 UCDUCD 0 - 0 Cork CityCork City manager Liam Buckley has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Darragh Crowley (Cruciate ligament), Ethon Varian (Cruciate ligament) and Albin Winbo (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
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.
