💭 Prediction

We envisage that Dungannon Swifts will likely create enough chances to get a goal against this Linfield lineup, but a single goal may not be as many as they will have scored against them.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a 1-2 advantage for Linfield after the 90. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
