The big Premiership - Europa play-offs match on Wednesday sees Coleraine prepare for the clash against Crusaders.
Our predictions, user poll and statistics for Coleraine v Crusaders can be found here - as well as up-to-date odds.
Coleraine will be looking for a repeat result of a 1-0 Premiership victory against Linfield.
The only name on the scoresheet from Coleraine was Rhyss Campbell (43').
Dean Shiels's Coleraine have seen rewards for their attempts on goal a sum total of 7 times over their past 6 outings. The corresponding tally of goals that they have conceded in that same time is 9.
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Dungannon Swifts in Premiership action, Crusaders and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
John McGovern (73') was the scorer for Dungannon Swifts.
During their six most recent matches, Declan Caddell's Crusaders have slotted home 7 times, yielding them the goals scored per game average of 1.17.
A quick look at past results between these clubs stretching back to 20/04/2024 tells us that these fixtures have not been kind to Coleraine. They’ve not been able to come away with any victories whatsoever whereas Crusaders have been too good for them, finishing as winners in 100% of those ties.
A combined sum of 18 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 4 of them from The Bannsiders and 14 created by The Hatchetmen. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.
The last league fixture featuring the two was Premiership match day 4 on 19/04/2025 which ended up with the score at Crusaders 3-0 Coleraine.
The referee was Evan Boyce.
Levi Ives (Knock), Connor Murray (Knock) and Lyndon Kane (Shoulder injury) won’t be able to feature for Coleraine manager Dean Shiels.
Crusaders manager Declan Caddell has some current player fitness concerns. Billy Joe Burns (Cruciate ligament injury) and Adam Lecky (Knee injury) will miss out on this game.
We’re inclined to think that Coleraine will most probably convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
At the same time, Crusaders may well find it hard to score but we can see them converting at least once here, too.
We reckon that it will be a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for Coleraine after 90 minutes.
