Coleraine vs Linfield tips and predictions

Not much much wrong in prices ahead of tight NIFL Premiership encounter

Coleraine are currently in fifth place as they host seventh place Linfield. With only 3 points between them, both teams will be keen to steal a march on their rivals here.

It looks like this will be a pretty even contest and there are arguments to be made for both teams. The pick is to support the home team but this could be made to look pretty silly at full-time. There's just not enough value in the Linfield price.

The hosts start the match having put 7 victories on their resume from their last 10 games.

Coleraine scored at least once in all of their recent 16 home matches and they've showed fortitude when under attack. They've only conceded an average of 0.5 goals across their last 6 games.

Away from home Linfield have conceded an average of 1.8 goals in their last 11 matches. Their problems don't stop there. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been poor. They've scored one or less goals in 3 of their last 4 matches.

It's possible that this match will be determined by which team is the first to open their account. It's felt that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they can both be dangerous in attack. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable on this occasion. As far as the total goals line goes, it's more than one goal for this one considering how that market has been priced up.
