Dundalk vs UCD Predictions

• Dundalk are unbeaten in their last nine matches
• Dundalk have dropped four points at home this season
• UC Dublin have lost eight of their ten away league games this season

Hosts expected too cruise to victory

Dundalk should face few issues in getting the job done on Friday night when they host UC Dublin at Oriel Park. Dundalk are unbeaten in their last nine league matches and have yet to taste defeat on home soil this season, dropping just four points from their ten-home league matches in the Irish Premier Division. Dundalk haven’t blown many teams away this season when they have won games, but with little coming back the other way from basement side UC Dublin, the floodgates may well open.

Another long night in store for the visitors

There have been few positives about UC Dublin’s first season back in Irish footballs top division. Friday’s visitors have won once all season, they have taken just seven points from 20 league matches in 2022 and find themselves rooted to the foot of the Irish Premier Division table with a mountain to climb – UC Dublin are 13 points off safety.

Dundalk -2 on the 3-Way Handicap will be the main selection for Friday’s game at Oriel Park. An early goal for the hosts could see the floodgates open against an opposition whose confidence is shot. The correct score prediction for this one will be for it to finish 3-0 to the hosts – Dundalk have kept clean sheets in each of their last four league matches.
