Prediction Dundalk vs UCD Season 2025 – Betting Tips for the First Division on June 13, 2025

As the First Division reaches its pivotal stages, the upcoming clash between Dundalk and UCD at Oriel Park promises to be thrilling. With just days away from the match, the stakes couldn't be higher for both teams. Dundalk, sitting pretty at the top of the league, will be looking to maintain their unbeaten streak against a UCD side that is keen on turning their fortunes around.

Dundalk’s Strong Form

Dundalk comes into this match riding an impressive wave, having registered a remarkable 12 wins out of 17 matches, along with 5 draws. They currently boast a commanding total of 41 points, with goals scored standing at 29 and only 11 conceded. The home side has demonstrated a penchant for finding the back of the net, particularly in their offensive play, exemplified by a solid performance against Wexford Youths recently, where they came from behind to win 3-2.

At home, Dundalk has established itself as a fortress; with an unbeaten home record, they have scored 14 goals and conceded just 6, recording 10 clean sheets. With their attacking prowess highlighted by multiple threats, they are likely to press UCD aggressively and exploit any defensive weaknesses.

UCD's Challenge

On the other hand, UCD finds itself in a more challenging position, languishing at the 6th spot with only 19 points from their 17 matches. Their record includes 5 wins, albeit with 8 losses that hint at inconsistency. Their last encounter yielded a solid 2-0 win against Athlone Town, which could provide them with a much-needed confidence boost ahead of facing the league leaders.

However, UCD's recent form away from home has been less than favorable, with a goal tally of just 6 scored and 10 conceded. While they possess the ability to snag a draw or even score a surprise goal, they face a daunting task against a well-drilled Dundalk outfit.
