Team News: Glentoran
Due to a mostly available group, there is only a single fitness worry for the Glentoran gaffer Declan Devine to contend with. Josh Kelly (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out for this game.

Prediction
When taking everything into account, Dungannon Swifts will need to put in a solid display to breach the defence of this Glentoran lineup who should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
We’ve gone for a good battle with a 0-1 victory for Glentoran at the end of the 90 minutes.
It should be a good one.
