Coleraine take on the visitors Glentoran in the round 16 match of Northern Ireland Premiership. The match will be played on Monday, November 13th at The Showgrounds (Coleraine).
Coleraine have been the champions of the country only once, and they will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their only title next year. However, they have regularly managed to win cups in various formats, including in 2018 and 2020. Moreover, during those years, the Northern Irish managed to advance in the UEFA Europa League qualifications, defeating not only La Fiorita but also, albeit on penalties, Maribor. They later lost on penalties to Mӧsernland. In comparison, last season, they finished only in sixth place. Currently, after a 2-0 away win against Crusaders, they are in the same position with 23 points after 15 matches.

Glentoran have slipped a bit this year. In terms of the number of trophies in Northern Ireland, the "Glens" are second only to Linfield. However, their 23rd championship was won back in 2009 - an incredibly long hiatus for a historical giant, especially since they haven't won any cups since 2015. Against this backdrop, their third-place finish in the last season was already considered a good result, especially since they later won the national playoff for the right to compete in the Europa League. However, they were defeated in the Europa League qualifiers by their very first opponent, Gzira, on penalties after a couple of draws. Nevertheless, the club has long been struggling in the league. Just consider that their recent matches ended in a 1-1 draw with Crusaders and a 2-3 loss to Carrick Rangers. However, even after these results, the club is still one point ahead of the next opponent.
Glentoran had two wins with a couple of draws. However, in September, Coleraine won 2-1 away. The visitors are considered favorites, but the hosts have had a worse performance in the league. We're betting on a "total over 2.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
