Coleraine form and stats
Coleraine have collected 10 points from their Premiership home games so far after 3-1-3.
The Coleraine followers got no joy from their last match, also played here at The Showgrounds: A 1-2 defeat against Crusaders (placed 3rd).
A strong away win before that one, visiting Carrick Rangers and winning 1-0.A decent goal production from Coleraine in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 league matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Glentoran form and stats
Glentoran's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Glentoran collect 13 points from their 6 away matches in the Premiership. 4 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
There might be some fixture complaints from Glentoran as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-2 against Glenavon. That loss ended this team's string of league matches in a row without losing; eleven games in all!
Before that, Glentoran secured a home win against Dungannon Swifts with the score 3-1.Look out: 8 of the latest 10 league matches involving this side have ended with only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in the betting world).
The schedule is very tough for Glentoran now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A County Antrim Shield game at Linfield is waiting in only four days.
The travelling fans enjoy Glentoran's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 6 league matches away. The Glentoran defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({2 goals} in 6 games).
Head 2 Head
