Glentoran

WWDWWL

After being beaten in their last game against Linfield in Premiership action, Glentoran and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Matthew Fitzpatrick (60') was the scorer for Linfield.

A succession of effective performances from the Glentoran defensive unit has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their last 6 outings combined. Over that same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 15. That pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, though.

Ahead of this clash, Glentoran are undefeated in their previous 5 away league matches.
