📰 Team News: Crusaders
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Crusaders manager Stephen Baxter to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group of players. Ben Kennedy (Knee Injury) won’t play.
🗞️ Team News: Linfield
Out of a mainly available group of players, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Linfield manager David Healy to contend with. David Walsh (Head Injury) won’t be playing here.
💭 Prediction
We envisage that Linfield have it within them to find the net against this Crusaders lineup, although that probably won’t be as many as they’ll concede.
Our tip is for a 2-1 winning margin for Crusaders by the conclusion of the game. Looking forward to this.
