UCD vs Shelbourne Lineups and Last Match
UCD
UCD headed into their away trip with St Patrick's on the back of a 2-1 victory over Sligo Rovers but any of the positivity collected from that result was soon wiped out at Richmond Park. St Patrick's went in 2-0 up at the break and UCD conceded a further 5-goals in the second forty-five as the match ended in a 7-0 defeat for the Premier Divisopn's bottom club.
Predicted Lineup – Moore (GK), Osam, Barr, Gallagher, Babb, Dempsey, Keaney, Kinsella-Bishop, Nolan, Clarke & Doyle
Shelbourne
Shelbourne faced a tricky home game against high-flying Derry last time out but managed to come away with a share of the spoils. Following a goalless first-half, the deadlock was eventually broken in the 57th-minute, Boyd firing Shelbourne in front. However, the hosts couldn't hold onto their lead, conceding an equaliser in the 71st minute and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Predicted Lineup – Kearns (GK), Griffin, T. Wilson, J. Wilson, Quinn, Lunney, Coyle, Molloy, Moylan, Caffrey & Farrell
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Jack Moylan
Shelbourne's 21-year-old midfielder, Jack Moylan, could make the difference between 1pt and all three on Friday night.
Moylan top scores for the visitors this season with 6-goals and is just one goal away from equaling his best-ever tally in a single campaign, and he is due a goal after failing to score in any of his last seven outings in the league.
The visitors go up against the worst defence in the Premier Divison on Friday so we're expecting Moylan and co to create enough chances to win this game and wouldn't be surprised if the young midfielder scored the winning goal.
