Linfield FC vs Glenavon FC Prediction: Linfield is almost at the finish line

Linfield maintains its position at the league's top as they head into their round 32 game in the Northern Ireland Premiership. Linfield bounced back to winning ways with a 0-2 victory over Crusaders in their last league game, while Glenavon lost woefully to Coleraine. Both teams have met twice this season, and Linfield won on both occasions. We believe Linfield will have a tough time here, and our prediction leans towards a victory for Linfield. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, their key stats, and my expert opinion.

Linfield FC (1st)

Form in the League: WLWWD

Linfield bounced back to winning ways in their most recent league game against Crusaders. Matthew Orr and Michael Fitzpatrick scored a goal each in that game. Linfield will be hoping to finish strong in the Northern Ireland Premiership, and with 2 games remaining in the regular season, Linfield are already on their way to Championship glory this season. 

Linfield is currently in the top flight in the Northern Ireland Premier League table with 22 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses from 31 games played, 56 goals scored, and 23 goals conceded. Joel Cooper is the team's top scorer with 15 goals.

Glenavon FC (10th)

Form in the League: DLWLD

Glenavon remains 10th placed in the league, and with the look of things, they’ll have to fight for a place next season in the relegation playoff zone. They were held down to a 3-3 draw against Glentoran in their last league game. I think Glenavon's fate is sealed, and they’ll have to fight for their place next season in the relegation playoff zone, but let’s see how the next few weeks unfold. They are currently in 10th place in the league table with 10 wins, 9 losses, and 12 draws from the 31 games played.
