Coleraine vs Glentoran tips and predictions

Things won't be straightforward for Coleraine

There's not much between Coleraine and Glentoran in the NIFL Premiership. The hosts are in fourth place with 29 points, compared to their opponents who are in second place on 30 points.

Any result is possible here. The draw is food for thought as far as this preview is concerned. The suspicion is that this is going to be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Making a fortress out of their home ground, Coleraine have conceded only 1 goal in their last 8 matches and Glentoran haven't conceded even once during their most recent 3 matches.

In previous matches between these sides 10 of the last 18 have been draws.

The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park as they could be well matched. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option here. And in the total goals line, it's Under 2.5 goals standing out in this one given these prices.

Coleraine have drawn 5 of their last 13 matches. They drew 0-0 with Cliftonville last Saturday. Glentoran have drawn 4 of their last 10 matches. The conclusion is there's nothing to like about the home or away win prices. The draw is the play after what could be a close encounter.
