Both teams are near relegation zone and both need points in order to move up in the safe zone and avoid play-off and relegation.
Drogheda is in a better position because they have 4 points more than their opponent. In the last round they took an important three points away against Shamrock Rovers 0-1.
Stephen Maher (13/0 m) and Paul Andrews (9/0 d) are both out.
UCD Dublin is in a very poor form. They have managed to win only once in their last 10 matches in Premier League.
In the last match, Derry City humiliated them 1-6. Big problem for UCD Dublin could be the absences.
Tomas Boyle (12/1 d), Mark Langtry (17/1 d), Hugh Douglas (16/0 m), Colm Crowe (12/0 m) and Dean Clarke (6/1 f) are all out, while Ian Ryan (7/0 d) is doubtful.
This is the clash of two team with the worst defences in Irish Premier League. On 21 matches, Drogheda conceded 50, while UCD Dublin conceded 45 goals.
Home team have an advantage and they are favorite to win this one, but for me, the first betting option is “over 2.5 goals”.
Drogheda Utd vs UCD Dublin Betting Tip: over 2.5 goals @ 1.6 (Bet365)
