Only a few games have been played in the Premiership so far, with Coleraine placed 5th and Linfield sitting in the 1st position.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premiership. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Crusaders.

Coleraine faced defeat in their previous match, away at Crusaders (0-1). Before that, Coleraine played out a draw 4-4 when visiting Glenavon.

Linfield form and stats

Two travels in a row for Linfield, whose manager D. Healy could celebrate last time after the Premiership win against Portadown. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Crusaders.
A heroic performance from Linfield in their game against Portadown last time out. Things got complicated when B. Héry was sent off in the 58th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory!
Linfield have the goal stats of 5-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
