The home squad managed to collect a solid 26 points from 19 rounds, which leaves them in sixth position (out of a total of 10). On the other hand, The Students are cemented for the very bottom of the table with a sad six points, which is as much as 14 points behind the safety zone.

Dundalk vs UC Dublin Betting Tips: AH1 (-1.5)

The two rivals will meet for the last time in the current season on Monday. Dundalk managed to earn four points from two so far. In the first, we could see spoils sharing in a 1-1 draw, while The Lilywhites celebrated with a routine 2-0 in the second clash, and we have no doubt that they will come out as winners this time as well.

The players of Dundalk are playing quite variably since the start of the 22/23 season, and the best proof of that is their performance - W7-D5-L7. For example, the team from Oriel Park was in a series of four consecutive triumphs in the period between April 28 and May 12, but after that they fell into crisis with just one point from four rounds.

Admittedly, it should be said that all three failures occurred outside of their stadium. In fact, The Lilywhites come into this one after back-to-back away defeats to St. Patricks (1-2) and Shamrock Rovers (0-2) and there is no doubt that they will be in search for the maximum number of points in front of their fans.

By the way, Dundalk behind themselves have quite decent results in their backyard in recent weeks. They don't know about defeat already four consecutive matches at home, winning two of the last three. Their attacking segment should be especially praised, as they have shaken the opponent's net at least twice in each of the last four.

They are visited by University College Dublin, i.e. by far the weakest team in the course of the Irish championship so far. The performance of only one triumph after 19 rounds clearly depicts UCD's current situation, so they rightly bear the epithet of the first favorite for moving to a lower tier at the end of the season.

Indeed, coach Andy Myler and his team are facing increasing problems as the season progresses. Out of a total of 18 rounds played, they have suffered as many as 14 defeats, not to mention conceding an incredible 41 goals. Their results on the side are, to put it mildly, criminal. They won only one point from nine visits and concede almost three goals per match. All things considered, a win for Dundalk should not be in doubt!
