๐ Form Guide
UCD
LWWWDD
UCD enter this game after a 1-1 First Division drawn result versus Finn Harps.
Itโs not been often in recent games where UCD have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that UCD have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 6 goals during that time. Such a trend might not be carried forward into this next game, however.
Analysis of their past results shows that UCD:
- haven't won against Cork City in their last 3 league matches.
- are unbeaten in their previous 2 league matches at home.
