Loughgall FC vs Glentoran FC Prediction: No way out for Loughgall here

The 26th round of the NIFL is upon us and Glentoran will be hoping to extend their 5-game unbeaten run at Lakeview on Saturday. Glentoran is in good shape and their sim for this game will be a victory. Loughgall has it even worse with only 3 victories in the league this season as they continue to languish at the bottom of the league table. I believe this is another easy opportunity for Glentoran to extend their unbeaten run. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Loughgall FC (12th)

Form in the League: LLLLL

Loughgall continues to languish at the bottom of the league table with four consecutive league defeats in their last 5 league games. Loughgall is without a victory in their last 10 league games and they might be edging towards another defeat as they take on Glentoran on Saturday. 

Loughgall is currently 12th in the league table with 3 wins, 4 draws, and 18 losses from the 25 games played in the league. Nathaniel Ferris is the team's top scorer this season with 5 goals already.

Glentoran FC (3rd)

Form in the League: WDWWD

Glentoran continues striving for a top-three position in the league this season and is currently third place in the league table. All they need now is to find a way to close down the point gap between them and the league leaders Linfield. They are unbeaten in their last 6 league games with three wins and two draws in their last 5 league games. They defeated Larne earlier this week in the Northern Ireland Cup and they emerged victorious on penalties. We are familiar with Glentoran's style of play which is very offensive and I believe they’ll go all out for goals against Loughgall. 

They are currently in third 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.
