Ballymena United FC vs Glentoran FC Prediction: Glentoran will get the win at the Showgrounds

Ballymena United and Glentoran will clash at the Ballymena Showgrounds for their outstanding round 25 games in the Northern Ireland Premiership. Glentoran is in good shape and their aim for this game will be to extend their 9-game unbeaten run. The hosts on the other hand are down bad and without a win in their last 6 meetings. Both teams will come all out for the win and I envisage a confident victory for the Glens as the current Ballymena United is no match for them. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Ballymena United FC (10th)

Form in the League: LDLDL

Ballymena United is without a win in their last six league games and with the current form of their opponent, they might be edging towards another defeat. Ballymena United lost to Crusaders in their last league game and they’ll most likely lose to Glentoran on Tuesday. Ben Kennedy is the team's top scorer with 12 goals in the league this season. Ballymena are currently 10th placed in the league table with 10 wins, 3 draws, and 13 losses from the 26 league games they’ve played. 

Glentoran FC (2nd)

Form in the League: WWWWD

Glentoran is now second placed in the league after a 9-game unbeaten run which got them seven victories and 2 draws. Their most recent league game against Coleraine ended in a 1-2 victory and they’ll most likely be edging towards another victory as they take on Coleraine on Tuesday. They are unbeaten in their last 9 league games with seven wins and two draws in their last 9 league games. We are familiar with Glentoran's style of play which is very offensive and I believe they’ll go all out for goals against Ballymena United. 

They are currently in second place on the league table, with overall league statistics of 14 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses from the 26 league games played. Jordan Jenkins is Glentoran's man in front of goal, with 6 goals to his name this season.
