After losing their previous match against Crusaders by a score of 3-1 in the Premiership, Newry City will be looking to rebound here. Declan Carville scored the only goal for Newry City (77′). Crusaders got goals from Dean Ebbe (31′), Jordan Owens (63′), and Jordan Forsythe (80′). In recent times, Newry City has rarely displayed defensive toughness. In fact, Newry City has conceded 11 goals while failing to prevent opponents from scoring in five of their previous six matches.
Here, Glentoran will try to make amends. Larne’s goal was scored by Lee Bonis (63′). The statistics speak for themselves: Glentoran has been outscored by nine goals in five of their last six games. Glentoran’s defense has not been flawless.

We think Glentoran will probably be able to make a lot of chances and hit the target with a lot of success. However, while Newry City may struggle to score, we do anticipate them converting at least once here. As a result, we anticipate Glentoran to prevail 1-3 at the conclusion of the 90 minutes.
We can deduce from a review of their previous head-to-head encounters dating back to January 19, 2019, that these encounters have not been kind to Newry City. They haven’t won a single game, but Glentoran has been more successful than them, winning 83% of their games.
During those games, the two teams combined to score 12 goals, with two coming from City and ten coming from The Glens. That amounts to an average of 2 goals scored per game. The last time these two teams met in the league was on Premiership match day 12 on October 22, 2022, and the outcome was Newry City 0-1 Glentoran. Ross Dunlop was the referee for the match.
The odds offered by the bookmakers on the full-time result market are as follows: back Newry City at 9.5, back the game ending all-square at 5.1, and back Glentoran as the winner at 1.33. These are the highest prices currently available.
For this match, our knowledgeable partners are tipping over 1.5 goals.
