Glentoran FC vs Linfield FC Prediction: A tough contest ahead

The Glens welcome The Blues to the Oval arena in a consistent drought of losses for Glentoran FC. They welcome a strong and in form Linfield FC after three consecutive losses with hopes to turn the game on its head and edge back to winning ways. The blues are in an amazing form and will hope to add the “out of form” Glentoran FC to their list of vanquished teams this season. Please see below match analysis and tips carefully prepared for you.

Glentoran are currently having their worst run of the season after managing to secure only a win in their last five matches. They suffered three consecutive losses in their last 3 games which appears to be their first straight run of defeats in the league campaign.

The Glens conceded a goal in the dead of the game to lose their last match, lost (1-0) to Cliftonville after conceding a goal early in the first half, lost (3-2) to crusaders and suffered a (3-0) gnashing defeat against Linfield FC. Glentoran are a very strong team but they are currently in a very poor form which is arguably their worst form of the season.

They are still in line for the Championship playoffs which is highly dependent on their performances in the next few games. Glentoran are currently 6th in the league table with eleven (11) wins, two (2) draws and four (4) losses, averaging a total of (35) points from (17) games.

The Blues have had a wonderful run this season and they are still holding it up as they are only a few points behind table leaders for the league glory. As one of the most consistent teams in the league, they are holding up the forte especially after their victory to eliminate Glentoran FC from the league cup. They put 3 goals past Carrick Rangers in a (3-1) victory at home, went easily past Glentoran FC in a (0-3) victory and a gnashing (4-0) defeat carefully delivered to Dungannon Swifts.

The Blues are currently third in the league table with twelve (12) wins, three (3) draws and four (4) losses, averaging a total of thirty-nine (42) points from nineteen (I9) games. The Blues are well in the title race and they cannot afford a slip off the title race.

In their last league match, they put four (4) goals past Dungannon Swifts with Christopher McKee finding the net in the 7th minute of the game. Fitness levels look good for the blues and they are good to go.

The last meeting between both teams was in October and Glentoran went home with a (0-3) victory; the last five meetings revealed that The Glens went home with two wins, and Linfield managed to get a win and two draws in the remaining.

Extending the margin and taking a closer look at their last 10 games, Glentoran went away with wins and Linfield only managed a win with draws. We can obviously see that Glentoran has the better of Linfield, but with the Glens current form, it might be impossible to pull off a win here.

Their last five matches have seen at least two goals, so we can bank on goals as the Blues are in the best position to score goals with their current form. Glentoran FC have still not scored a goal in their last two matches.
