In this week 6 match on the 17th of March, UCD will travel to Dublin to battle Bohemians in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier Division teams in the ever popular Dublin derby. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Bohemians is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against St Patrick’s. Jonathan Afolabi struck first for Bohemians in the 18th minute, then Dean Williams added another in the 2nd minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a feed from Grant Horton At the end of 90 a dissapointed St Patrick’s couldn’t manage to score, and Bohemians took the shutout win. Bohemians should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, UCD recorded a 0-1 loss against Drogheda United. Emmanuel Adegboyega struck first for Drogheda United in the 73rd minute on a feed from Dayle Rooney, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed UCD couldn’t manage to score, and Drogheda United took the shutout win. UCD looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Bohemians won the head to head battle with 3 wins and 1 draw.
UCD is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Behan and Danu Kinsella Bishop each only have 1 goal in their last five. Jordan Flores has been the most prolific scorer on Bohemians in the last five matches with three goals.
