๐ Form Guide
Newry City
WLLLLL ๐ป
Newry City will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 3-1 Premiership loss in their previous game against Crusaders.
The only name on the scoresheet from Newry City was Declan Carville (77'). Dean Ebbe (31'), Jordan Owens (63') and Jordan Forsythe (80') scored for Crusaders.
It has been all too rare in recent times where Newry City have shown defensive steel. In fact, Newry City have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 11 goals in the process.
Glentoran
LLLLWL
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Larne in Premiership action, Glentoran will be aiming to make amends here.
Lee Bonis (63') scored for Larne.
The stats tell the story, and Glentoran have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals overall. In defence, Glentoran have been far from perfect. We will just have to see whether or not that trend can be continued on into this next match.
๐ค๐ค Head to head
A study of their past head to head meetings going back to 19/01/2019 tells us that these fixtures have not been kind to Newry City. Theyโve not been able to get any victories whatsoever while Glentoran have been the better of the two, running out winners in 83 per cent of those matches.
In all, 12 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 2 for City and 10 created by The Glens. That is an average goals per game value of 2.
The last league encounter between these sides was Premiership match day 12 on 22/10/2022 which ended up with the score at Newry City 0-1 Glentoran.
The match was refereed by Ross Dunlop.
๐ฐ Team News: Newry City
There is just one fitness concern for the Newry City gaffer Darren Mullen to be concerned with due to a largely intact squad. Philip Donnelly (Unknown Injury) is out of contention.
๐ Team News: Glentoran
From a largely available group of players, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Glentoran manager Rodney McAree to be concerned with. Conor McMenamin (Knock) wonโt be playing here.
โจ Prediction
In our view, Glentoran will probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
However, Newry City may well find it hard to score- but, we do see them converting at least once here, too.
Weโre therefore expecting to see a pretty comfortable 1-3 win for Glentoran at the end of the 90 minutes.
