View all of the Dungannon Swifts v Crusaders predictions, poll and stats below (inc. the best betting odds).
Dungannon Swifts fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 3-2 Premiership triumph vs Glentoran.
For Dungannon Swifts, goals were scored by John McGovern (8'), Leonel Alves (38') and Tomas Galvin (85'). Jordan Jenkins (13', 62') was the scorer for Glentoran.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Dungannon Swifts have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Dungannon Swifts have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 11 goals in the process. Putting that to one side, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend will be maintained in this game.
A look at their previous results shows us that Dungannon Swifts:
Crusaders will go into this encounter following a 3-0 Premiership win as they beat Coleraine in their last outing.
The only scorer from Crusaders was Jay Boyd (1', 56', 85').
Throughout their 6 most recent matches, Declan Caddell's Crusaders have managed to stick the ball in the net 8 times - yielding them a goals per game average of 1.33.
Ahead of this clash, Crusaders have not beaten Dungannon Swifts when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league matches.
Looking at the statistics for their head to head meetings going back to 15/08/2023, there has been little between the sides with Dungannon Swifts winning 2 of those games, Crusaders 2 and 2 being draws in normal time.
Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 22 overall which averages out at 3.67 goals per match.
The last league contest between the two was Premiership match day 25 on 11/01/2025 which ended up with the score at Crusaders 1-5 Dungannon Swifts.
The referee was Louise Thompson.
Crusaders manager Declan Caddell has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Billy Joe Burns (Cruciate ligament injury) and Adam Lecky (Knee injury) are not able to play.
When taking everything into account, Crusaders will do well to hit the back of the net against this Dungannon Swifts lineup who we reckon will emerge victorious.
Therefore, we predict a very competitive game with a 1-0 advantage for Dungannon Swifts at the end of the match.
We’ll see what happens.
