Drogheda United, Recent FormDrogheda United will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 home win against Cork City. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Cork City who had 13 attempts and 5 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 14 home games this season.
It's been a mixed run of form at Weavers Park for Drogheda recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
UCD, Recent FormLosing 1-0 home to St. Patrick's Athletic won't leave the UCD squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. Their share of possession in that meeting was 36%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. St. Patrick's Athletic had 11 shots on goal with 1 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 2 goals, conceded 18, and picked up a meagre 1 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they've conceded at least one goal in their 20 most recent away games.
An away win for UCD is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 14 games.
Adam Wells will be hoping to create problems for Drogheda United in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for UCD.
UCD suffered the disappointment of a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Drogheda United the last time they met in the league.
The Students defence has struggled against Drogheda in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 games.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Drogheda has taken all 3 points and has not lost to UCD in 3 games.

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.
