Loughgall vs Ballymena United Prediction & Preview

Preview

The Northern Ireland Premiership is set to witness an exciting match between Loughgall and Ballymena United on Saturday, 21st December, at Lakeview Park. Loughgall, currently sitting 12th in the league with 13 points, will be looking to improve their form against 6th-placed Ballymena United, who have 27 points. In their last 5 head-to-head matches, Loughgall has secured 3 wins, while Ballymena United has managed 2 wins, with no draws.

Recently, Loughgall played out a goalless draw against Carrick Rangers away at the Belfast Loughshore Hotel Arena, while Ballymena United also drew 0-0 against Glentoran at home. Loughgall's form in the last 5 matches has been underwhelming, with no wins, 2 losses, and 3 draws, earning them just 3 points. In contrast, Ballymena United has taken 5 points from their last 5 games, with 1 win, 2 losses, and 2 draws.

It's worth noting that when these two teams last met on 05/10/2024 at The Showgrounds, Ballymena United emerged victorious with a 4-1 scoreline. Loughgall averages 1.29 goals per game, while conceding an average of 2 goals per game. At home, they score an average of 1.67 goals per game and concede 2 goals per game. On the other hand, Ballymena United scores an average of 0.43 goals per game and concedes 1.29 goals per game, with their away record showing an average of 0.33 goals scored and 1 goal conceded per game.

Bet

Considering the performance and stats of both teams, it's clear that Ballymena United has a slight edge, being favorites to win with odds of 2.1. However, Loughgall's ability to score an average of 1.67 goals per game at home cannot be overlooked. Given the odds, a bet on Ballymena United to win away seems like a reasonable choice, despite their relatively low goal-scoring record away from home. The odds of over 2.5 goals are 1.82, which might be tempting given Loughgall's average of 3.29 total goals scored in their matches, but considering Ballymena United's defensive record and low scoring average, the safer bet would be on the Away Win.
