Loughgall FC vs Crusaders FC Prediction: Linfield have the upper hand

In the 10th round of the Northern Ireland Premiership, Loughgall will prepare to take on Crusaders at Lakeview Park. Both teams have failed to secure a win in their last 3 league games but we believe Crusaders will shake off their recent defeats and get a win at Lakeview. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Loughgall FC (11th)

Form: LLLLD

Loughgall have only won a game from the nine games they’ve played this season and the win was in their first league game of the season. They have now lost 4 consecutive league games with their most recent league game against Larne ending in a 2-0 defeat and they might be edging towards another defeat as they prepare to take on Crusaders on Saturday. 

Loughgall is currently 11th in the league table with a win, 2 draws, and 6 losses from the 9 games played in the league. Jordan Gibson is the team's top scorer this season with 3 goals already.

Crusaders FC (9th)

Form: LLLWD

What a swift turn of events as the Crusaders who were once unbeaten in the league have now lost three consecutive league games. They have a single win, a draw, and 3 losses in their last 5 league games. Their most recent league game against Portadown ended in a disappointing 0-3 defeat and they’ll be hoping to bounce back to winning ways as they take on Loughgall on Saturday. 

Kieran Offord is the team's top scorer this season with 4 goals. Crusaders are currently 9th placed in the league with 3 wins, a draw, and 3 losses from the league games played.
