Treaty have not picked up three points in the league since July 11, when they got the better of Munster rivals Cobh Ramblers at the Garryowen venue.

Since then, Tommy Barrett's side have managed to accumulate just two points, those points coming from draws against Athlone Town and Kerry FC.

Defeats to Bray Wanderers, Longford Town, Dundalk and most recently Finn Harps has put pressure on Treaty United to keep their play-off position with seven games still to play.

Treaty sit in fifth place, just a point ahead of Finn Harps, who are breathing down the neck of the Limerick-based side after their 1-0 win against Treaty United in Ballybofey last week.

When Treaty last faced UCD at the Markets Field back in May, Barrett's side recorded an impressive 4-0 win, a result Treaty would hope to repeat this evening.

Kick-off at the Markets Field is at 7.45pm and the game will be broadcast live to view on LOITV.
