| Glentoran: |
|
After drawing their opening game away to Larne, Glentoran have won all their league games since and sit at the top of the table, level on points with Crusaders who have played an extra game. They are one of two sides in the league without a defeat, Larne being the other. They've also had wins in the Toals Co Antrim Shield and the BetMcLean League Cup. |
| Ballymena United: |
|
Pretty much on the opposite end of the scale, United have won just one, drawn one and lost 5 league games, all on the bounce, leaving them in a unenviable 10th place in the league, 1 point ahead of Dungannon Swifts and 1 behing Glenavon, who have a match in hand. Like the Glens, United have won the Toals Co Antrim Shield and the BetMcLean League Cup where they will host Coleraine next Tuesday evening, kicking off at 7:45pm. |
