Ballymena United FC vs Linfield FC Prediction: Linfield is unbeaten in their last 9 league games

Linfield maintains its position at the top of the league as they head into their 28th round of games in the Northern Ireland Premier. Linfield remains unbeaten in their last 9 league games while Ballymena United continues to fight to escape the relegation zone. The last time they met, Linfield secured a 2-0 victory and we believe they’ll also get the victory here. We predict a win or draw for the league leaders Linfield. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Ballymena United FC (9th)

Form in the League: LDLDW

Ballymena United is without a win in their last four league games and with the current form of their opponent, they might be edging towards another defeat. Ballymena United lost to Larne in their last league game and they’ll most likely lose to the league leaders on Friday. Ben Kennedy is the team's top scorer with 12 goals in the league this season. Ballymena are currently 9th placed in the league table with 10 wins, 2 draws, and 12 losses from the 24 league games they’ve played. 

Linfield FC (1st)

Form in the League: WWWWD

Linfield have now made four consecutive league wins in a row after their 2-1 victory against Crusaders in their last league game. Joel Cooper got the first goal for Larne before Clarke equalized for Crusaders 3 minutes later and Christian McKee finally put Larne back on top with a goal in the 45th minute.  

Linfield remains unbeaten in their last 9 league games. It’s also important to note that Linfield have not lost a home game in their last 8 league home matches and they also have a good away record. Linfield is currently at the top of the league table. 

Linfield is currently in the top flight in the Northern Ireland Premier League table with 19 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses from 26 games played, 50 goals scored, and 19 goals conceded. Joel Cooper is the team's top scorer with 15 goals.
