Glentoran have a clear quality advantage at home: they average 1.5 goals per match, generate an xG of 1.83, and record 5.5 shots on target from 15.5 attempts. Bangor are yet to score away from home, have failed to find the net in 100% of their matches, and have lost every one of them, producing just 5 shots and 1 shot on target per game. The hosts average 71% possession, while the visitors concede 2 goals per away match and have kept no clean sheets. The current form also favors Glentoran, who have won 2 of their last 5 matches, whereas Bangor have lost 4 and drawn just once. Given the visitors’ poor finishing and defensive record, a home win is the most likely outcome.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strong signal for BTTS - No is primarily driven by Bangor’s very poor attacking output: the team averages 0.0 goals per game this season, has 0.0 xG, and converts 0% of its scoring chances. Bangor have failed to score in 100% of their matches so far, while their season BTTS rate stands at 0%, compared with 33% for Glentoran. In their last 5 matches, the visitors improved their average to 0.8 goals, but still produce only 0.81 xG, while Glentoran concede an average of 1.2 goals and keep opponents under relative control. The hosts have recently scored 1.4 goals per match themselves, whereas Bangor concede as many as 3.0 goals per game, making a result with a Glentoran goal and at least one team failing to score the most likely scenario. Additionally, the league BTTS rate is only 41%, supporting the scenario in which at least one of the teams does not score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest signal points to Over 1.5 goals, as at least 2 goals have been scored in 100% of the teams’ matches to date. Bangor have conceded an average of as many as 3.0 goals per game in their last 5 fixtures, while Glentoran have scored 1.4 goals and created chances worth 1.52 xG during this period. The hosts are also defensively vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.2 goals in their last 5 matches, which gives Bangor a chance to add to the scoreline despite averaging only 0.8 goals scored. The 2.5 line is more balanced, as Bangor have failed to score in their matches so far this season; however, the projected total of 2.40 goals clearly supports Over 1.5 goals.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Glentoran victory at full-time, as the hosts were level after 45 minutes in 3 of their last 5 matches, conceding just 0.4 goals before the break during that period. Bangor have not led at half-time in any of their last five matches, losing the first half each time and conceding an average of 1.6 goals before the break. Glentoran improve significantly after half-time, scoring an average of 1.4 goals, while their points return in this period equates to 1.6 points per match, compared with Bangor’s 0.6. The visitors are in very poor late-match form, without a win in their last five outings, suffering defeats in 80% of them and conceding an average of 3.0 goals per match, which increases the likelihood of the hosts completing the turnaround after the break.
