Glentoran vs Glenavon Match Preview

Glentoran is ranked at the 4th place with 53 points and comes in a good form after four wins and a single loss over the past five matches. They have already secured the participation in the Championship playoff group with seven weeks in advance, so in the remaining games, they might have less pressure but will still have to compete in order to have the best ranking, when the regular season is over.

In the last five matches, they have scored nine goals averaging almost two goals per game and found the back of the net in each of these games. Also in front of their fans, they are one of the teams with the best performance having won nine out of 12 games and scored 30 goals.

Glenavon, on the other hand, is ranked at the 7th place with 31 points. They come not in the best form now with just a win two draws and two losses over the last five matches. They are ten points away from Larne, so they have a difficult task ahead if they want to try and enter the Championship playoffs group.

The recent 8-1 defeat to title contenders Linfield was really heavy, so they will seek to redeem themselves, at least by performing better than there. In the last five matches, they have scored seven goals and just once they failed to find the back of the net.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score a goal here. Glentoran is the better team and big favorite by the bookies. Playing at home should motivate them enough to try and claim three points. Glenavon managed to score against them earlier this season and I fancy them to repeat themselves now.
