Glenavon lived up to our prediction with a triumphant display against Carrick Rangers in their recent league encounter, securing a 0-2 victory as anticipated. Finding the net in both halves, Glenavon showcased a promising record with two wins and three losses in their last five league matches.

It's noteworthy that their fixture against Glentoran last week was postponed.

Their overall league record comprises nine wins, 14 losses, and three draws from the 25 games they have played so far. The key question remains whether they can secure a positive result on Saturday against a battered Coleraine side, and maintain their impressive form.

A critical look at their last 12 encounters produced 4 victories for Glenavon, 2 victories for Coleraine, and 6 draws.
