Derry is on second place, and with only 2 points below from Shamrock Rovers, who have not easy game today, and many injured players, and it increasing chances to battle for championship for Derry here, moreover Shamrock is playing in Europa League, and all this will go for Derry, who want to battle for first place...
Derry is dangerous at home, with amazing record at Brandywell, they are 7-5-1 25:3 goal scored.. It's really great stats they received only 3 goals at home in 13 games...
UCD have any chances to go up in the table, and they have nothing to play here, in their last league game they managed to win over Droheda 5-4 in nine goal thriller, but how their coach pointed after the game he was too angry with this result, and their defense was like school boys level..
after it they were crushed in Cup at home with Shamrock 0-6,
and now with a lot of squad problems they are going to Derry with depleted squad..
some words from official page:
"Going with a young squad to the Brandywell is never easy but we intend to give them a tough game," said UCD boss Martin Russell.
"The defeat to Rovers was tough to take but we have to look at the positives and having drawn with them in The Bowl we know we can match them on our day."
College will travel with a depleted squad as Michael Leahy is suspended and Danny Ledwith (ill), Sean Harding (groin), Ciarán Nangle (shin) and Cillian Morrison (hip) are also unavailable.
Last visit at Brandwell for UCD ended 0-7 loss, and I'm expecting nothing better than last one today too...
