Two of the most consistent teams in the league clash on Saturday afternoon in what will be a very entertaining game.

Coleraine has been in fine form since the start of the season, and we are hoping to see more of them.

Cliftonville lacked finesse and must be very disappointed with their performance last week against Carrick Rangers. They pegged and lost a 1-3 lead in the first half of the game, which ended in a 3-3 draw after Lloyd Anderson found the net in the 93rd minute of the game to secure a point for Carrick Rangers.

Before now, the Reds have successfully pushed themselves to the top of the table after their 1-0 victory against Linfield FC on Tuesday, they displaced Larne FC (although with a game in hand) and must ensure they remain at the top of the table.

The Reds pegged a 1-3 lead in the first half against Carrick Rangers, won the match against Linfield, and successfully pulled off a thrilling 2-1 comeback against Larne, as they won the game after trailing for the first 50 minutes of the game.

Cliftonville are currently first (1st) in the league table with fifteen (15) wins, four (4) draws, and four (4) losses, averaging forty-nine (49) points from twenty-three (23) games. Their title chances have increased now that they are at the top of the table. Can they get a win at the Solitude?

A win at the Showgrounds against Portadown was always going to be an easy dance for the Lilywhites, as they whisked invincibly past Portadown with a 4-1 victory, three of those goals being scored in the first half.

Coleraine will now go for their fourth win in a row when they travel to Solitude on Saturday evening. The Lilywhites have remained undefeated in their last eleven (11) matches, as they put four (4) goals past Portadown on Saturday to secure all three points and maintain their unbeaten record.

Oran Kearney’s men have been super impressive and do not seem to be backing down anytime soon. Their match against Cliftonville would be a very tough and decisive match, but they are in great form and have been preparing for Cliftonville. They have won thirteen (13) games so far this season with four (4) draws, six (6) losses, and over forty-one (41) goals scored. Can the Lilywhites calm the solitude?

The Lilywhites are on a big run of form, and they do not seem to be backing down anytime soon. They have scored a minimum of two goals in each of their last five (5) matches (except against Linfield), and we expect to see goals from them in this fixture. Cliftonville will match up to the task but goals will rain in this match up. We can back over 2.5 goals to be scored or for goals to be scored in both halves as Coleraine have not hesitated to score in the first half of each of their last five (5) games.

The last five (5) meetings between both teams have produced a total of 23 goals, it is a custom for goals to rain when both teams meet and with their recent form we do not see an exception in this game. We should see at least a goal from each team. We can back a BTTS here. For the higher lines we can go with a second half BTTS for 3.50 odds.

Coleraine have only won twice in the last ten games between both teams, but Saturday’s match might produce a different result as Coleraine is in great form and may likely win the game on Saturday.
