Glenavon form and stats

When playing at home in the Premiership, Glenavon have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 7 games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Mourneview Park after three straight home wins.

Glenavon shared the glory with Cliftonville in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2.

Glentoran form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Premiership travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. Impressively, the visitors are on a ten-match winning run which they hope continue versus Glenavon.

Donnelly and McMenamin (2) scored in Glentoran's previous match, the home game against Dungannon Swifts that ended 3-1. McMenamin has bagged at least one goal for the away side three fixtures in a row. The smartness!

A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Larne.

Observe: 9 of the last 11 league games involving this side have had only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Glentoran manager McDermott as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Coleraine.

Glentoran are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 8 times in 5 away games so far.

Head 2 Head

Glentoran have avoided a loss in the last 6 fixtures (5-1-0) against Glenavon.
