Team Performances

UCD will be eager to capitalize on their home advantage after a mixed run of form.

Scoring 18 goals, they have struggled defensively, conceding 25, highlighting a concerning defensive lapse. They've managed to record clean sheets in 6 of their matches, indicating that when they do find their rhythm, they can prove difficult to break down.

The away side, Finn Harps, currently sits in 7th place with 23 points from 21 matches, achieving 5 wins, 8 draws, and 8 losses. Their recent performance has revealed more inconsistencies, with their last match drawing 0-0 against Longford Town—a sign that their attacking prowess may be stifled.
