General match analysis
Dungannon Swifts hold a slight edge thanks to their away form: they have won 3 of their 4 away matches and kept a clean sheet in 75% of them, while Glentoran have won 2 of their 5 home games. The hosts create slightly better chances, averaging 1.58 xG at home compared with the visitors’ 1.51 xG away, and also record more shots on target per match — 5.6 against 4.75. However, both teams have the same conversion rate of 11%, so this advantage in chance volume may not translate into the result. Dungannon concede an average of 0.75 goals away from home, while Glentoran concede 1 at home, further strengthening the case for the visitors. Both teams have earned 7 points from their last 5 matches, so despite the lean towards a Dungannon win, a closely contested game should be expected.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest indicator in favor of BTTS - No is Dungannon Swifts’ record: the visitors kept a clean sheet in 75% of their matches, while BTTS - Yes occurred in 0% of them. Glentoran average 1.0 goals at home, while Dungannon concede 0.75 goals away, so a home goal is not a certainty. The case for BTTS - Yes is supported by the fact that both teams scored in 80% of Glentoran’s last five matches, and the visitors average 1.51 xG compared with the 1.49 xG conceded by the hosts. Even so, BTTS - Yes occurred in only 20% of Dungannon’s last five matches, making it more likely that at least one team will fail to score. This does not necessarily mean the match will finish 0-0.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Both teams’ matches averaged 2,25 goals: Glentoran scored 1,00 and conceded 1,25, while Dungannon scored 1,25 and conceded 0,75. The 3,5-goal line has not been breached in any of Dungannon’s matches to date and in 75% of Glentoran’s matches, making this the strongest signal in favor of Under 3,5. In addition, the visitors kept a clean sheet in 75% of their matches, although their average xG is 1,51 compared with 1,42 for the hosts, so goals cannot be ruled out entirely. The projected total of 2,20 goals remains well below the selected line, and I rate Under 3,5 at 84%.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome: Dungannon were level at the break in 4 of their last 5 matches, while Glentoran did so in 3 of 5. The visitors have not conceded in the first half of any of the 4 matches covered by the season statistics, making it harder for the hosts to take an early lead. After the break, the advantage shifts towards Dungannon, who have won 3 of 4 matches this season, compared with Glentoran’s 1 of 4; the visitors also concede an average of 0.75 goals per match, against 1.25 for the hosts. Dungannon won the second half in 50% of these matches, while Glentoran did so in 25%, making a half-time draw followed by an away win a slightly stronger scenario than the visitors leading from the start. However, both teams have won 2 of their last 5 matches, so the visitors’ edge does not justify a very high level of confidence in this HT/FT pick.
