General match analysis
Coleraine sit top of the table and remain unbeaten after 5 matches, recording 4 wins and 1 draw, while Glentoran have lost 3 of their last 5 fixtures. The visitors are particularly strong away from home: they have won all 3 matches, averaging 2.67 goals scored and conceding just 0.33 per game. Their superiority in chance creation is also reflected in an average xG of 1.92 compared with Glentoran’s 1.83, while they register 7.33 shots on target per match to the hosts’ 5.5. At home, Glentoran average 71% possession and score 1.5 goals per game, but their defence allows opponents an xG of 1.02, which could prove crucial against Coleraine’s 18% conversion rate. The hosts have the quality to find the net, but Coleraine’s run of three consecutive away wins and their 12:2 goal record after five matchdays clearly point towards the visitors.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The stronger signal points to BTTS - No, as Coleraine have kept a clean sheet in 67% of their matches, while Glentoran have done so in 50%. The hosts concede just 0.50 goals per game at home, with an xG against of only 0.32, which significantly limits the highly prolific visitors’ chances of scoring. Coleraine average 2.67 goals away from home, but their season BTTS rate is only 33%, and it stands at just 40% across their last five matches. Glentoran score 2.00 goals per home game with an xG of 2.60, so the most realistic scenario is a one-sided win with a clean sheet rather than both teams finding the net. BTTS - No means that at least one team fails to score; it does not automatically mean a 0:0 draw or that neither team will score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Coleraine are in excellent attacking form: they have averaged 2.4 goals in their last 5 matches, with an average xG of 2.06. Over the same period, Glentoran conceded 1.2 goals per game and allowed opponents 1.18 xG, which supports the likelihood of at least one away goal. The hosts also create chances, averaging 7.0 shots on target and recording a season-long xG of 2.60, although Coleraine’s solid defence concedes just 0.33 goals per match. The Over 1.5 goals line has the strongest support, as all of Coleraine’s matches exceeded this threshold, while both teams recorded Over 2.5 goals in 60% of their last five appearances.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Coleraine are in clearly superior current form: across their last five matches, they have averaged 2.4 goals scored and 0.4 conceded, winning 80% of their games, while Glentoran have averaged 1.4 goals scored and 1.2 conceded, with 60% of their matches ending in defeat. The visitors were leading at the break in 60% of their last five appearances and were not losing any of them after 45 minutes, whereas the hosts failed to lead at half-time on every occasion and were trailing in 40% of cases. Coleraine’s defence has been highly stable, having conceded no goals in the first halves of their last five matches, while Glentoran failed to score before the break in any of those games. The visitors’ advantage should continue after the interval: over the course of the season, they have averaged 1.67 goals in second halves and won them in 100% of matches, while conceding an average of 0.33 goals. Therefore, the most likely outcome is an HT/FT 2/2 scenario, with Coleraine taking the lead at the break and completing the victory.
