Glentoran host Crusaders at The Oval, Belfast on Saturday, Feb 27 at 4:00 PM in the Premiership.
Glentoran come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Crusaders travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Glentoran won their last outing, while Crusaders suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
History strongly favours Glentoran here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Crusaders. Their last encounter ended in Crusaders won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Glentoran look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Crusaders will make it uncomfortable. Glentoran to win.
