UCD FC vs Drogheda United FC Prediction: Drogheda will not lose

This Friday, the UCD Bowl will host an exciting league match between UCD and Drogheda United. UCD has been struggling with only one win in their last five league games, providing an opportunity for Drogheda to secure another victory. Here are some carefully prepared tips for you to consider.

UCD experienced a crushing blow in their last game against Shelbourne, succumbing to a devastating 0-4 defeat. Their defense has been struggling, conceding a total of 11 goals in their last two league games. This lopsided loss undoubtedly left both the team and their fans deeply disappointed. The focus now shifts to whether UCD can quickly recover and regain their form in the upcoming matches.

Drogheda United showcased a strong defensive performance in their last game against the league leaders, resulting in a goalless draw. In their last five matches, Drogheda recorded two draws, two losses, and a victory. As they face a struggling UCD team on Friday, Drogheda will be eager to secure a victory and improve their recent form.

Drogheda has had a fair run since the start of their league campaign. Their overall league statistics are; 6 wins, 7 draws, and 10 losses from 23 games played.

A critical look at the last 8 games between them produced 6 wins for Drogheda, a win for UCD, and a draw.

Given UCD's current poor form, it is unlikely that they will be able to turn their fortunes around miraculously. Drogheda, on the other hand, showed resilience by holding the league leaders to a draw in their previous game, which will undoubtedly serve as motivation for the team as they prepare to face UCD on Friday. Based on this, our initial prediction is that Drogheda will either win or draw with a scoreline of over 1.5 goals in their favor.

We should see a goal from UCD in this game as they’ll not go down without a fight. However, Drogheda will definitely get a minimum of 2 goals.
