Head to head
Looking over their past head to head meetings going back to 20/04/2024 tells us that these fixtures have ended in disappointment for Coleraine. They have not been able to register any wins at all whereas Crusaders have been too good for them, getting wins in 100% of those games played.
18 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 4 for The Bannsiders and 14 coming from The Hatchetmen. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.

Prediction
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.
