One of the teams that have still a lot to fight for is Glentoran. One of the most trophied teams in N. Ireland is tracing Linfield by three points. With four rounds to go there are good chances to equlize with them or outjump them as they will meet H2H in next round on Glentoran's ground.

Today Glentoran will play away versus Crusaders. Mid table team that has nothing to play for, 10 points behind 5th Portadown, too far from the bottom to get into danger. Crusaders have been in great form of late, but playing versus 7th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 16th placed teams and winning four of them isn't really exceptional result. Crusaders are good at home, but they've lost there against all top teams they've met, Portadown, Lisburn, only Clifftonville drew. Today they will miss their motor in the midfield, Stevie Coulter, player that was voted player of the month for March. It will be a big blow for them.

Glentoran is currently the hottest team in N. Ireland. Seven wins in a row, unbeaten in last ten. They got into best form when it was the most necessary. They are best away team in league with W9-D2-L2 32:12 and they have won 16 points of possible 18 in last six away games, conceding only one goal, while they've scored 15. For this match they won't have any injury issues.

Away team looks more powerful, they will have bigger motivation and they have absolutely great tradition vs hosts, winning 8 of last 10 games, beating them in every away meeting in last six seasons. In only meeting this season they've won them 3:0 and i expect them to maintain good form and tradition and put up more pressure on Linfield on top.
