📏 Form Guide

Crusaders
LDWLDL
Crusaders will be looking for an improved result here following the 0-4 Premiership losing effort in their last game against Glentoran.
Christie Pattisson (27'), David Fisher (34'), Jordan Jenkins (75') and Kodi Lyons-Foster (81') scored for Glentoran.
It’s been all too rare in recent games where Crusaders have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Crusaders have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 12 goals along the way. Even so, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend shall be maintained in this match.
Their previous form shows that Crusaders:
- haven't lost in the league to Coleraine in their previous 5 games.
- haven’t won at home in the past 4 league games. That's never good.
Coleraine
DDWLWL ⚖
After a loss in their previous game against Larne in Premiership competition, Coleraine and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
The only player to score from Coleraine was Declan McManus (40'). Andy Ryan (6') and Paul O'Neill (78') scored for Larne.
Coleraine have been a threat going forward in their most recent fixtures, scoring 9 goals in their last 6 matches. While their manager Dean Shiels will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Coleraine have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same games.
Pre-game facts show that Coleraine:
- haven't beaten Crusaders when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 2 league matches.
👥 Head to head
An inspection of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 16/03/2024 tells us that these encounters have ended in disappointment for Coleraine. They’ve not managed to get any wins at all whereas Crusaders have been superior, beating them in 83% of those matches played.
A sum of 17 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 12 of them for The Hatchetmen and 5 being from The Bannsiders. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.83.
The last league fixture between the two was Premiership match day 26 on 18/01/2025 and the score finished Coleraine 0-2 Crusaders.
The referee was Ian McNabb.
📰 Team News: Crusaders
Billy Joe Burns (Cruciate ligament injury) and Adam Lecky (Knee injury) are not available for Crusaders manager Declan Caddell.
💭 Prediction
Here, we’re thinking that Crusaders might need a bit of good fortune to score against this Coleraine lineup who we reckon should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
Therefore, we predict a very even contest with a 0-1 winning score for Coleraine after 90 minutes.
Hopefully it’s a good one.
