Form Guide
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.

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