UCD vs Longford Town Live Stream, Predictions (May 09)

📊 Form Guide

UCD

LWLLWL

UCD won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 0-1 First Division losing effort in their last game against Kerry.

UCD have struggled with their forward play in more recent games. Their goals record stands at just 2 versus opponents during their last six outings. In those games, UCD have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them total 5. Putting that to one side, we will just have to wait and see whether that trend will be sustained here in this game or not.

Longford Town

LLLDLW

Longford Town will come into the meeting following on from a 2-1 First Division win with the downing of Wexford in their previous game.

It is worth noting that Longford Town have suffered from a shortage of goals in their past 6 encounters, netting the disappointing return of only 4. In those fixtures, The Town have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 13.

Looking at their past form shows that Longford Town:

• have not won against UCD when they've played them away from home in the last 3 matches in the league.
• are without a win away from home in their last 12 league games. It's not a good run at all.

👥 Head to head

Looking over their past head to head meetings going back to 27/08/2021 reveals that these encounters have not been kind to Longford Town. They’ve not been able to get themselves any wins whatsoever while UCD have been the better of the two, finishing as winners in 83% of those ties.

A combined total of 15 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 10 of them for The Students and 5 being from The Town. That is an average goals per game value of 2.5.

The previous league fixture featuring the two was First Division match day 9 on 12/04/2025 which ended up with the score at Longford Town 0-1 UCD.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that UCD should score at least once when they play Longford Town, who may well find it hard to score.

Our tip is for a decent 2-0 winning margin for UCD after 90 minutes.
