📏 Form Guide

UCD

WLWLLW

UCD will be looking for a repeat result of a 1-2 FAI Cup triumph against Treaty United.

Matches involving UCD have usually been absorbing ones of late with high scoring the rule rather than the exception. Over their past 6 clashes, the sum total of 20 goals have been recorded for both sides combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 10 of those coming from UCD.

Coming into this meeting, UCD have left without a victory over Cork City in their last 8 matches in the league.

Cork City

WWWWLL

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Shamrock Rovers in FAI Cup action, Cork City and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

Illustrating their penchant for action-packed matches, we’ve had goals 21 times in the prior 6 matches in which Cork City have sent out their troops, yielding an average of 3.5 goals for each fixture. Opposition teams have managed 8 of those goals. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, of course.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Cork City:

• have not been beaten by UCD when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. A very good run of results for them.
• are unbeaten in their last 5 league matches away from home.

👥 Head to head

A study of their past head to head meetings going back to 01/03/2024 shows that these encounters have not been kind to UCD. They’ve not been able to get any wins whatsoever whereas Cork City have been the better of the two, finishing as winners in 67 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.

7 goals were scored between the two sides during those clashes, with 1 from The Students and 6 being from The Rebel Army. That is an average goals per game value of 1.17.

The previous league match featuring these clubs was First Division match day 15 on 08/05/2026 when it finished Cork City 3-1 UCD.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that UCD could find themselves struggling to find the net against this Cork City outfit who will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re going for a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 winning score for Cork City after 90 minutes.

Let’s see how it plays out.
