โน๏ธ Team News: Glenavon
There arenโt many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Glenavon manager Stephen McDonnell to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Isaac Baird (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.
๐๏ธ Team News: Dungannon Swifts
Dungannon Swifts boss Rodney McAree has to choose a team with limited availability. Rhyss Campbell (Cruciate ligament injury), Matthew Lusty (Broken collarbone) and Niall Owens (Knock) wonโt be making appearances.
๐ฎ Prediction
Our thinking is that Dungannon Swifts will likely be able to breach the defence of this Glenavon side, but it probably wonโt quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Glenavon after 90 minutes. It should be a decent one.
