UCD, Recent FormThe UCD players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sligo Rovers recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 3 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Sligo Rovers' tally of 14 efforts at goal, 2 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 1 goal, conceded 14, and picked up a meagre 1 points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 20 games, and playing at home this season, they've failed to score in 8 of their 14 games.
UCD will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at UCD Bowl, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormShamrock Rovers were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Derry City. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Derry City, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Stephen Bradley will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 8 goals. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing away from home this season, they've notched up 8 clean sheets in 15 games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Hoops, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
Rory Gaffney will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against UCD in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Shamrock Rovers.
The last time these two teams met Shamrock Rovers enforced their superiority over UCD with a comfortable 4-0 win.
It's been a long time since UCD have managed to find the back of the net against The Hoops, having failed to score against them in their last 10 league encounters. The Hoops will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against UCD, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 16 meetings between the two. We've seen plenty of goals from Shamrock when they've visited The Students in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 8 goals, which is an average of 2.67 per game.
Shamrock have dominated this fixture in the past, winning the last 15 times in a row when they have played UCD in the league.
Jack Byrne has scored in each of Shamrock's last 0 league games against UCD.
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.
With only Jack Byrne (Muscle) and Johnny Kenny (Knock) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Stephen Bradley will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
