New season, new opportunities: Here's what you need to know before the Cliftonville - Glentoran match!

2-1-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Glentoran when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those seven matches are 10-11 (scored/conceded).

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
