St. Patrick’s Athletic and UCD’s Head-to-Head Showdown to Break the Pattern
Key Stats
– St. Patrick’s Athletic’s defence has been breached in five of their last six games.
– UCD have failed to register a win in their last 11 away league games.
St. Patrick’s Athletic and UCD prepare to lock horns in an upcoming Premier Division game, offering the opportunity to delve into past performances, existing strengths and weaknesses, and anticipate the turn of events in the highly anticipated showdown.
St. Patrick’s Athletic: A Mixed Performance
St. Patrick’s Athletic enters this match on the back of a 1-1 draw against Dundalk. Despite holding 45% possession and launching 14 attempts on goal, of which four found the target, they only managed a single score, thanks to the exceptional skills of Connor Carty in the 33rd minute. Dundalk retaliated with 12 attempts and hit the target three times, one of which, an 84th-minute strike from Daniel Kelly, resulted in the equaliser.

An unsettling trend has been looming over St. Patrick’s Athletic lately: their defence has been breached in five of their previous six games, with a total of six goals scored against them. This indicates a degree of vulnerability, a slight crack in their armour that UCD could potentially exploit. But history may also favour St. Patrick’s Athletic, who have been untouched by UCD in the last 19 league matches – a remarkable record to uphold.
UCD: A Struggle for Consistency
The UCD team have had their own share of battles. Their last match against Sligo Rovers saw them emerging victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. Jack Keaney’s own goal in the 22nd minute and strikes from Sami Clarke and Jake Doyle in the final phase of the match contributed to their victory. They’ve shown consistent scoring capabilities, managing six goals in their last six matches. However, they’ve also consistently conceded, which has been a significant pain point.
UCD’s away game performance has been less than ideal, failing to register a win in their last 11 league games – a poor run that they’ll be eager to break. A closer look at their head-to-head meetings with St. Patrick’s Athletic reveals a consistent underperformance. They’ve been unsuccessful in all their encounters, with St. Patrick’s Athletic reigning supreme 100% of the time.
The Predictions: Over 9.5 Corners and 3-1 Victory for Saint Patrick’s Athletic
Taking all the above data into account, the prediction leans towards an over 9.5 corners bet. St. Patrick’s average corners per game at 5.3, coupled with UCD’s average of 2.7, makes this a likely outcome. Also, given both teams’ offensive and defensive tactics, as seen in their previous games, the teams are likely to adopt a high pressing style, contributing to more corners.
As for the correct score prediction, given St. Patrick’s superiority in previous encounters and their consistent scoring abilities, a 3-1 win for St. Patrick’s Athletic seems plausible. Despite their recent defensive vulnerabilities, they’ve shown greater offensive prowess, and with UCD’s track record of consistently conceding, it’s safe to assume St. Patrick’s Athletic might capitalise on this.
