Glentoran FC vs Dungannon Swifts FC Prediction: A tough one between two strong teams

The 28th round of the NIFL is upon us and Glentoran will be hoping to extend their 7-game unbeaten run at The Oval on Saturday. Glentoran is in good shape and their aim for this game will be to extend their 7-game unbeaten run. Dungannon Swifts cannot also be toiled with as they’ve been in great spirits all through the league. Both teams will come all out for the win and I envisage a victory or a draw for the Glens but more emphasis is on the goals options. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Glentoran FC (3rd)

Form in the League: WWDWW

Glentoran is now second placed in the league after a 7-game unbeaten run which got them five victories and 2 draws. The Glens pulled off the unthinkable in their most recent league game against Loughgall. Loughgall held the lead up until the last 10 minutes of the game but they were pegged in those minutes and Glentoran found a way to score two goals courtesy of Joe Thompson. 

They are unbeaten in their last 7 league games with five wins and two draws in their last 7 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 Dungannon Swifts. 

They are currently in second place on the league table, with overall league statistics of 12 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses from the 24 league games played. Jordan Jenkins is Glentoran's man in front of goal, with 5 goals to his name this season. 

Dungannon Swifts FC (3rd)

The Swifts were held down to a draw in their last league game against Coleraine which ended in a 1-1 draw. They have been amazing all through the league this season and this isn’t the time to back down. Their overall league statistics are 12 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses from the 26 league games played.
