After losing five (5) straight games and struggling to get a win since November, Newry City will be quite demoralized, and the team's motivation may be below par as they head into their Tuesday night fixture. The last time they won a game was in mid-November, when they scored four (4) goals past Carrick Rangers in a 4-1 victory.
Newry City has had a bad run of form since the start of their campaign; they lost 2-0 to Cliftonville, 2-0 to table leaders Larne, and 2-0 to Dungannon Swifts in their last league match. They are currently 10th in the league table with five (5) wins and fourteen (14) losses, averaging a total of eighteen (18) points from twenty (20) games.
In their last league match, they lost against Dungannon Swifts after Ethan McGee found the back of the net in the early minutes of the game to keep them ahead and James Knowles got the second goal of the game in the 67th minute to seal the win.
Coleraine FC (5th) WDWWW
Coleraine will try to win their thirteenth (13) Premiership match in a row when they visit the Showgrounds in Newry on Tuesday evening. The Lilywhites remain undefeated in their last seven (7) matches, as they annihilated Loughgall in the Irish Cup last week in a 3-1 victory.
The Lilywhites have been super impressive this season, maintaining an unbeaten record in their last five (5) games to keep their hopes alive for the Championship playoffs and Uefa Conference League qualification. They defeated Ballymena United in a 2-0 victory, and their last match against Linfield ended in a goalless draw as both teams went home with a point each.
Coleraine are in amazing form, as they do not seem to be backing down anytime soon. Their next match against a demotivated Newry City side should be a walk in the park for the Lilywhites. They have won eleven (11) games so far this season with four (4) draws, six (6) losses, and over thirty-six (36) goals scored.
Expert Betting Tips
The Lilywhites are on a big run of form, and they do not seem to be backing down anytime soon. They have scored a minimum of two goals in each of their last five (5) matches (except against Linfield), and we expect to see a minimum of two goals from them when they face a weak Newry side on Friday. We can bank on Coleraine scoring two (2) goals in this match.
Both teams faced off in September, and Coleraine went home victorious with both goals scored in the second half. We expect a similar tide from Coleraine and a win on Tuesday night to keep their fire burning.
For the high-risk takers, it is evident that Coleraine should secure the win here, so we can back the Coleraine to win option. But we can take the lines a little higher with the multi-correct score option of 2-0 and 2-1, which gives us higher odds.
