Venue: Solitude (5442 seats)

It's early days in the Premiership and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Crusaders's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Crusaders have performed like this: Played eight matches resulting in 5 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 22-14 (scored/conceded). There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
