What to expect

We expect about 1.9 goals from Glentoran and 0.8 from Ballymena United, so Glentoran come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Glentoran to win. Glentoran are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-0.8), and we make them about 67% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 65 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.61, which works out at about 62 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
✓Glentoran are unbeaten in their last five — four wins and one draw.
✓Ballymena United have won three of their last five.
