On September 7th, Dungannon Swifts and Glentoran FC will face off. The away side is hoping to maintain their place in the standings and extend their winning run to three matches.
Dungannon Swifts
Dungannon has made a promising start to the current season. Remember that this was a team lurking in the relegation play-offs last season. This season, they are challenging for a top two finish despite failing to win their opening three matches (L2, D1).
Their most recent tussle against Loughgall at the Lakeview Park saw them live up to their billing as slight favorites to come away with a comfortable 2-0 victory, extending their winning run to two matches. Recall, they were on a two losing streak.
Glentoran FC
Glentoran, meanwhile, had a disappointing start to the campaign suffering a 0-1 defeat against Crusaders at the Oval. However, Declan Devines' team has gone the extra mile to show that it was just a minor blip in performance going unbeaten in their last four matches (W3, D1). They are third in the table with ten points amassed from five matches and are three points adrift of league leaders Linfield.
On Saturday, they welcomed Cliftonville to the Oval, and Jordan Jenkins' early goal was enough to see them secure a hard-fought 1-0 victory. In light of this result, they are currently on a two match winning streak in the NIFL Premiership.
