Glenavon

LWDWWW 📈

Glenavon, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-1 Premiership triumph vs Crusaders.

The only scorer from Glenavon was Conor McCloskey (89').

The Lurgan Blues have been conceding pretty frequently lately, although they’ve also managed to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, The Lurgan Blues have been punished defensively in 5 of them in addition to managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those matches. Such a trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, however.

Their prior results show that Glenavon:

• are unbeaten in the league by Carrick Rangers in their last 3 games.
• are unbeaten in their previous 2 home league matches.

Carrick Rangers

DWDLLL 📉

After a loss in their previous game against Cliftonville in Premiership competition, Carrick Rangers and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Ryan Curran (32') scored for Cliftonville.

The numbers tell their own story, and Carrick Rangers have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, conceding 10 goals overall. In defence, The Gers have some weaknesses to address.

Analysis of their past results shows that Carrick Rangers:

• have not registered a win against Glenavon in games played away from home for the previous 6 matches in the league. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• are unbeaten in their previous 3 away league matches.
