Crusaders FC scored 33 points out of 57 possible in 19 matches: ten victories, three draws, and six defeats.
The match will take place at Solitude (this is the home stadium of Cliftonville), which is an important fact. In the current championship, Cliftonville won all ten home games with a goal difference of 20-4. Moreover, the last four home matches ended with clean sheets. Crusaders show quite good results on foreign pitches (16 points out of 30 possible in ten matches: five victories, one draw, and four losses). Again, the results are quite good, but not perfect, so the Crues cannot be considered the favorites in the match against the team that won all the matches at home. In addition, Crusaders have never scored in their last three away matches. I would like to note Clintonville and Crusaders exchanged victories in the last eight head-to-head matches, and six games ended in a draw. We can assume that the hosts' winning streak will end in the upcoming match (I admit a draw), but to be honest, there are no prerequisites for the victory of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Cliftonville to win with +0.5 handicap
