ℹ️ Team News: Ballymena United
Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Ballymena United gaffer Jim Ervin to be concerned with. Johnny McMurray (Knee surgery) won’t be playing here.
💡 Prediction
In our view, Cliftonville will, in all likelihood, be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.
In contrast, Ballymena United could well find it tough to make a breakthrough although we do see them being dangerous at times, too.
We can therefore see a controlled 3-1 win for Cliftonville when the full-time whistle blows.
