UCD, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Cork City in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for UCD. During that encounter they had 46% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 20 shots on goal.
Having lost 18 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Andy Myler will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 4 goals they scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 games, and so far this season they have failed to score in 13 of their 26 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 5 games.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormLast time out for St. Patrick's Athletic resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 0-0 draw against Bohemian FC in a match they really wanted to win. They came away from that fixture with a 41% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Bohemian FC, who managed 20 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Jon Daly will be delighted with his team's performances recently, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games whilst conceding only 2. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games whilst also keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Chris Forrester will be looking to cause UCD some problems having scored 2 goals in St. Patrick's Athletic's last 6 away games in the league.
The last time these two teams met St. Patrick's Athletic enforced their superiority over UCD with a comfortable 7-0 win.
As away records go, Saints have built up a decent scoring streak against UCD in the league, having scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 12 away meetings. St. Patrick's Athletic have an impressive record of scoring goals against The Students, with a tally of 17 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
UCD will be desperate to get some points from this game, having lost the last 7 times they've faced St. Patrick's Athletic in the league and not managed a win from any of their last 20 meetings.
St. Patrick's Athletic player Chris Forrester will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against UCD, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
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.
Despite Tom Grivosti (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season St. Patrick's Athletic manager Jon Daly will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
