Linfield vs Glentoran Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

Glentoran have found the going tough on their travels recently, with each of their previous five top-flight fixtures ending in defeat by a single-goal margin. Linfield’s star has been shining somewhat more brightly on their own patch of late, however, as they have enjoyed five victories in seven home matches, including a success win during their past 5 games.

Linfield have certainly become a more expansive team since the coach picked up the managerial reins, and this is reflected by the fact that 16 of their 18 top-flight home games during past season have produced a minimum of two goals. This has also been the case in 15 of the most recent 20 Glentoran away matches at this level, so expect more of the same here.

When it comes to both scoring and conceding during the same 90 minutes, Glentoran are clearly the experts, with the away outfit now having done so in nine consecutive top-flight matches. Although Linfield cannot quite compete with these numbers, it remains the case that neither goalkeeper has emerged with a clean sheet from seven of their last nine games.
