Glenavon vs Cliftonville Prediction & Betting Tips (13 October)

Cliftonville have really rediscovered their mojo in recent times, winning ten of their previous 10 games at the top table of the NIFL Premiership and only dropping points against some games during this spell. Glenavon, by way of contrast, have triumphed just once in 10 matches of late, and they were beaten 4-1 in this fixture last term.

Cliftonville have featured 16 times since they were last involved in a scoreless draw at the top table of the NIFL Premiership, with these contests yielding a grand total of 54 goals. What’s more, 16 of the previous 17 NIFL Premiership fixtures involving Glenavon have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, so any deviation from this script would come as a surprise.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the previous five Glenavon matches in the NIFL Premiership, so there is no reason to see this pattern changing against Cliftonville. One reason for this is that it has also been the case in each of the Toffees’ last three away games at this level, so both teams are on the same page.
