Cliftonville welcome Bangor at Solitude, Belfast on Saturday, Dec 5 at 4:00 PM in a Premiership fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Cliftonville come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Bangor, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Cliftonville here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Bangor, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Bangor won 0–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Cliftonville a slight edge, but Bangor are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
