Coleraine vs Glenavon: match statistics
Coleraine is the decided favorite of this meeting, sitting in 2nd place in the table with an impressive record of 75% home matches won. The hosts present great home form, scoring an average of 2.58 goals per match and maintaining efficiency at the level of 18% with 61% possession. Glenavon, conversely, has a catastrophic away record – 100% losses in away matches, scoring just 0.58 goals with an average of 2.5 goals conceded per match. The difference in quality is also confirmed by the goal difference: +20 for Coleraine in home matches versus -23 for Glenavon on the road. The visitors' streak of 12 consecutive away losses and the fact that they failed to score in 50% of away games further argue for a high victory for the hosts. With such a large disparity in strength, the only threat to Coleraine might be potentially underestimating the rival, yet statistics clearly indicate a sure victory for the home team.
