🗞️ Team News: Glenavon

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just one fitness concern for the Glenavon gaffer Michael O'Connor to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Jacob Carney (Broken hand) is sidelined.

💡 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Glentoran will probably create a decent amount of chances and shots on target.

Conversely, Glenavon may well find it hard scoring goals of their own but we can see them scoring here.

We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 1-3 winning score for Glentoran at the end of the match.
