Treaty United vs UC Dublin Prediction & Betting Tips (2 October)

Treaty United host UC Dublin at Markets Field on Friday 2 October 2026 in a League of Ireland First Division match that arrives with Treaty trying to turn recent momentum into home points and UC Dublin protecting a top-three push. The latest Treaty club news has been dominated by the completion of the agreement to unite behind the Limerick FC identity, the launch of a Down Syndrome futsal team after FAI funding, and a community sleepout planned for Markets Field on 9 October, so the build-up has been about identity and inclusion as much as the table.

Treaty's recent form is mixed but dangerous: they beat Finn Harps 2-1 on 25 September after losing 2-0 at Bray Wanderers on 18 September and falling 0-1 to Wexford on 4 September. UC Dublin arrive with more quality but clear away fragility, beaten 1-3 by Bray Wanderers at the UCD Bowl and beaten 5-1 at Cork City on 18 September after a 2-2 home draw with Athlone Town on 11 September.

For the 2026/2027 season, Treaty United's listed squad is built around Jack Brady in goal, captain Mark Walsh, Eric Yoro, Darren Nwankwo, Richkov Boevi, Ben Lynch, Kilian Cantwell, midfielders Colin Conroy, Steven Healy, Mark Byrne, Ronan Manning and Matt Jones, and forwards Roy Lawlor, Cian Curtis, Ben Feeney, Brian Cunningham, Colm Whelan, Dare Kareem and Jason Oyenuga. UC Dublin's group features Dara Kavanagh and Noah Douglas in goal, Sean Murphy, Luca Cailloce, Carl Lennox, Niall Holohan, Eoin Sheeran, Kyle Donoghue, Adam Wells and Daniel Costello across defence and midfield, with Ciaran Behan, Louis Dignam, Hugh Smith, Mikey Raggett, Sam Norval, Charles Akinrintayo and Geordy Lavin supplying the attacking depth.

European odds make UC Dublin only a narrow away favourite at about 2.30, with Treaty United 2.72 and the draw 3.70, while over 2.5 goals and both teams to score are both strongly fancied. That fits the pattern of UCD creating more but conceding heavily away, and Treaty scoring in patches without keeping clean sheets; our prediction is Treaty United 1-3 UC Dublin, with UCD's extra attacking quality and set-piece threat proving decisive in the second h
