Cliftonville FC vs Dungannon Swifts FC Prediction: Cliftonville is on the verge of their third consecutive league victory

As the third round of the Northern Ireland Premier draws nearer, Cliftonville will welcome Dungannon Swifts to the Solitude for the first time this season. Cliftonville is in great form as they’ve won the two league games they’ve played this season while Dungannon Swifts are yet to win a league game. The signs are evident that Cliftonville will secure their third victory of the season at the Solitude on Tuesday and we can bank on that. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Cliftonville FC

Form: WW

Cliftonville kickstarted their league campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory against Portadown in their league opener and it was Ryan Curran who finally found the net for Cliftonville after failing to convert a penalty from the spot in the 18th minute. Their second league game against Glenavon ended in a 1-2 victory as Cliftonville once again upheld their record of not losing to Glenavon in their last 16 encounters. Cliftonville is now second placed in the Northern Ireland League table and they must maintain this impressive form as they head into Tuesday’s Clash. 

Dungannon Swifts FC

Form: DL

The Swifts have not been entirely swift since the start of the new NIFL season as they are yet to secure a win and with the strength and current form of their opponents on Tuesday, it might be even harder. In their opening game against Coleraine, they held the lead from the 25th minute after Keelan Dillion’s goal but they lost focus and conceded in the 81st minute and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. In their second game against Linfield, they lost woefully with a 3-1 scoreline.
