UCD have been showing consistent performances this season, sitting high in the table. The team is confident at home, having won several important victories, including a recent 3-2 victory over Bray Wanderers. Their attack looks effective, allowing them to score regularly.
Longford Town are at the bottom of the table and have serious problems in defense, conceding on average more than two goals per match. The team has shown inconsistent results and a weak away game - 9 defeats in 14 away matches.
The head-to-head history is also on UCD's side, who have won two of their last three matches against Longford. Given their home status, better form and motivation, a confident victory is likely.
