These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing.
Over 2.5 Goals
UCD suffered their fourth defeat on the bounce when they were blitzed 3-0 at Bohemians last week and the Students have now shipped 14 goals in their last four Premier Division assignments. The league’s worst outfit have conceded a staggering 30 times in just 13 fixtures overall since their promotion and they could be in for another harrowing evening when they host in-form Dundalk on Friday. The Lilywhites have won three of their last four and they could fill their boots against UCD’s notoriously porous defence.
Over 1.5 Dundalk Team Goals
Dundalk managed to put four goals past Louth rivals Drogheda United in last week’s derby and with their confidence boosted, Stephen O’Donnell’s troops could enjoy more success in the final third on Friday. UCD have conceded at least twice in 100% of their last seven matches and that record makes backing Dundalk in the over 1.5 team goals market a must on Friday.
Patrick Hoban to Score Anytime
Experienced Dundalk frontman Patrick Hoban notched his fifth goal of the new campaign against Drogheda last week and the 30-year-old can boost his tally further against UCD on Friday. Hoban was among the goalscorers when the Lilywhites beat the Students 2-0 back in early April and he can punish the same rearguard with his expert finishing skills in Dublin this week.
UCD vs Dundalk Match Preview and Team News
UCD
UCD have a clean bill of health ahead of Friday’s fixture, though a clear injury picture has done little to aid their recent performances. The Students are already eight points adrift of safety after just 13 games of the new season and a swift return to Ireland’s second tier is on the cards for Andrew Myler’s side.
Dundalk
Dundalk have finally hit their stride and their fine run of three wins in four games has shot them up to third spot in the Premier Division. The club’s 4-1 derby day win over Drogheda last time out had the feel of a proper campaign kick-starter and boss Stephen O’Donnell will be determined to harness the momentum from that victory on Friday.
