Linfield will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-5 Premiership triumph against Dungannon Swifts. For Linfield, the goalscorers were Chris McKee (17′), Ethan Devine (31′, 48′), Joel Cooper (47′) and Kirk Millar (51′).
Their most recent results shine a light on the fact that it has been a great time for the Linfield backline. Linfield have kept it tight, resulting in the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their last six matches standing at 3.
It will be interesting to see if that trend can be continued on here. Crusaders will go into this match following on from a 0-1 Irish Cup win in the defeat of Dungannon Swifts in their previous outing. The only scorer from Crusaders was Declan Caddell (90′).
A run of accomplished performances from the Crusaders defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 clashes overall. In that period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 9.
