Betting Predictions

Over 1.5 Goals: 62.00

The odds for over 1.5 goals are set at 62.00, indicating a strong likelihood of at least two goals being scored in the match. Both teams have shown an ability to score, with Glentoran having a potent attack and Glenavon displaying resilience in finding the back of the net despite their defensive struggles. The attacking prowess of key players on both sides suggests that fans can expect an entertaining match with multiple goals.

Under 2.5 Goals: 62.60

With odds at 62.60, the under 2.5 goals market is slightly less favored compared to over 1.5 goals. This suggests that while there is potential for a high-scoring affair, it’s also possible that defensive lapses or tactical adjustments could limit the number of goals to two or fewer. Both teams have had instances of conceding late goals, which could play a role in keeping the total under three.

Both Teams Not to Score: 61.00

The odds for both teams not to score stand at 61.00, reflecting a scenario where defensive solidity prevails over offensive opportunities. Given Glenavon’s defensive vulnerabilities and Glentoran’s occasional lapses at the back, this outcome is plausible but less likely compared to other markets. If both teams prioritize defense over attack, this could lead to a low-scoring draw or a narrow victory for one side.
