After being beaten in their last game against Warrenpoint Town in Premiership action, Dungannon Swifts will be aiming to make amends here.

Kealan Dillon (48') and Alan O'Sullivan (85') scored for Warrenpoint Town.

The stats don’t lie, and Dungannon Swifts have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 12 goals in total. Defensively, The Swifts can certainly do much better. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, of course.

Coming into this contest, Dungannon Swifts have not beaten Glenavon in games played away from home for the previous 5 league games. Not the best of away records.
