Season ticket holders at Riverside Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Institute languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Glentoran will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Institute drew their last game, 1-1 away at Crusaders (placed 3rd). Before that match, a Irish League Cup win away at Newry City AFC.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Institute here at Riverside Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 6 games). Institute's defense is seriously deficient as 19 goals have been conceded in these matches.
Glentoran form and stats

The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Glentoran hope to make it five in this match. Glentoran love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

As mentioned above, Glentoran was the only team on the pitch versus Warrenpoint Town in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
