Ballymena United vs Newry City AFC Prediction & Preview

Preview

This Saturday, 20th April, The Showgrounds will be buzzing with anticipation as Ballymena United host Newry City AFC in a Northern Ireland Premiership clash. Scheduled for a 14:00 kick-off, this game marks the fourth round of the competition and could significantly impact both teams' standings.

Under the guidance of coach Jim Ervin, Ballymena United currently sits comfortably at 5th place in the league with 25 points. Their recent form has been quite solid with two wins and one loss in their last three matches. Notably, they secured a narrow victory against Glenavon at home in their last outing, finishing 1-0.

On the opposite side, Newry City AFC coached by Barry Gray is just below Ballymena on the table at 6th position but with a noticeable gap having only accumulated 17 points so far. Their recent form tells a worrying tale as they have faced three consecutive losses including a disheartening defeat to Carrick Rangers (3-1) last time out.

When we look back at head-to-head encounters between these two teams over their previous five meetings it’s been tight; Newry City managed one win while four games ended level - including their latest clash which finished up as a stalemate (1-1) earlier this season.

In terms of scoring stats when playing on home turf this season, Ballymena averages just over half a goal per game while conceding around one-and-a-half goals. On travels away from home ground, Newry's record shows them scoring an average of one goal per game yet conceding heavily at an average rate of more than three goals per match.

Bet

Given that both sides have shown some defensive vulnerabilities but also struggle offensively based on average goals scored and conceded especially considering venue specifics – there's potential for some action here despite previous low-scoring encounters between them. With odds indicating higher expectations for more than two goals being scored (over 2.5 goals stands at odds of 1.72), my recommended bet would lean towards Over 2.5 given current forms and past performances hinting that defenses might not hold tight during this encounter.

All our previews are generated using advanced AI models. These take into account recent form, H2H records, goals scored, conceded and much more.

This preview should be used to help you evaluate the Ballymena United vs Newry City AFC match, recent team form, goals, statistics and league performance. You should then come to your own decision about what YOU think is a good bet. Always check the facts and never bet money you cannot afford to lose.
