Dundalk hosts UCD in a League of Ireland First Division match. The hosts comfortably lead the table, boasting an impressive scoring record of 65 goals in 32 matches and a comfortable six-point lead. Their home form has been particularly strong, making them clear favorites in the upcoming clash.
The visitors are fourth, but significantly inferior in quality and scoring. UCD has a modest attacking record (39 goals) and has conceded 10 more goals than Dundalk. Their away form is questionable, with the team periodically dropping points in away matches.
Their head-to-head record clearly points to a Dundalk victory (4 wins, 1 draw). In August, Dundalk won 1-0 away, but their home advantage will be more pronounced.
