Ballymena United will be looking for another win after the 2-1 Premiership victory over Linfield.
Ballymena United haven’t had any problems with scoring, netting every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 gamesThey’ve managed to rack up 10 during that period and have conceded a total of 6. Coming into this fixture, Ballymena United have not been beaten in their last 4 home league matches.
Dungannon Swifts come into this match following a 2-1 Premiership win over Crusaders in their most recent game.
Looking at their form, and Dungannon Swifts have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 13 goals in all. At the back, The Swifts have been far from perfect. Such a pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, of course. Dungannon Swifts haven’t won away from home in the past 4 matches in the league.
Head to head
Checking out their prior head to head meetings going back to 12/01/2019, there has been little to separate the clubs with Ballymena United winning 2 of those games, Dungannon Swifts 2 and 2 being draws in normal time.

Prediction
Ballymena United should be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target. In contrast, Dungannon Swifts will not find it easy to make a breakthrough - but, I do see them pulling one back during this clash, too. Therefore see a decent 3-1 winning margin for Ballymena United after 90 minutes.
