UCD demonstrates good results - 13 points in the last 5 rounds. UCD shows a good attacking game, scoring an average of 2 goals per match, but the defense periodically fails, as in the crushing defeat from Finn Harps (0:3) in the Irish Cup.
Dundalk is in good shape, but recently has begun to lose much more often in the championship. The team scores a lot of goals (39 goals in 24 championship games), but the defense is not always reliable - in three out of five matches they conceded 2+ goals. Away games are more difficult, but the attacking potential remains.
Both teams play attacking football, but still rarely score in recent face-to-face meetings, trying to build a game from defense.
