Loughgall FC vs Crusaders FC Prediction: Linfield have the upper hand

In the 10th round of the Northern Ireland Premiership, Loughgall will prepare to take on Crusaders at Lakeview Park. Both teams have failed to secure a win in their last 3 league games but we believe Crusaders will shake off their recent defeats and get a win at Lakeview. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Loughgall have only won a game from the nine games they’ve played this season and the win was in their first league game of the season. They have now lost 4 consecutive league games with their most recent league game against Larne ending in a 2-0 defeat and they might be edging towards another defeat as they prepare to take on Crusaders on Saturday. 

Loughgall is currently 11th in the league table with a win, 2 draws, and 6 losses from the 9 games played in the league. Jordan Gibson is the team's top scorer this season with 3 goals already.

What a swift turn of events as the Crusaders who were once unbeaten in the league have now lost three consecutive league games. They have a single win, a draw, and 3 losses in their last 5 league games. Their most recent league game against Portadown ended in a disappointing 0-3 defeat and they’ll be hoping to bounce back to winning ways as they take on Loughgall on Saturday. 

Kieran Offord is the team's top scorer this season with 4 goals. Crusaders are currently 9th placed in the league with 3 wins, a draw, and 3 losses from the league games played. 

Crusaders currently lead in their head-to-head stats with 5 wins and a draw. Loughgall is yet to win a game against the Crusaders.  

Both teams are currently struggling in the league with defeats in their last 3 league games. However, Loughgall is down badly and in a more critical situation as they’ve only won a game from the 9 games played this season. Crusaders also have the historical advantage as they are yet to lose a game against Loughgall and even though they are in bad shape we think The Crues will get at least a draw in this game. Our prediction is a win or draw for the Crusaders. Please see some of their head-to-head stats below; 

• No losses for the Crusaders in their last 6 meetings
• Crusaders have scored first in their last 5 meetings
• Less than 4.5 cards in their last 6 meetings
