Linfield has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here. We remember; it was Cliftonville U20.

Glentoran U20 form and stats

Let's have a look at how Glentoran U20 performed last season in the Premiership Development League: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 2 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 63 and conceded 49 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 1 and lost 6 with 41/27 goals scored/conceded.

Glentoran U20 won their last game, 4-0 versus Dungannon Swifts U20 played at home. As mentioned above, Glentoran was the only team on the pitch versus Dungannon Swifts U20 in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Warrenpoint Town U20.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Glentoran playing away, we found one game. Results were one away win, zero draws and zero home wins.

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings featuring these contenders: Linfield won two, Glentoran U20 triumphed in two and we saw zero draws. four games with more than 2,5 goals, zero matches with two goals or less.
