Glentoran will be looking to register three consecutive league home wins for the first time in 2025 when they play host to Glenavon on Wednesday night.
The hosts go into this game on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat to Cliftonville in the Northern Ireland League Cup final. Declan Devine's side dominated possession but their goalscoring woes continued as they failed to find the net for the second time in four games.
Meanwhile, Glenavon visited Coleraine in the league last weekend, hoping to make it two wins in a row for the second time in 2025. The visitors lost 1-0 but will be buoyed by the fact that they are unbeaten in four away league games ahead of Wednesday's clash.
Glentoran vs Glenavon Betting Tips: Draw & Under 2.5 goals
Both sides are struggling to score goals at the moment with the hosts scoring under one goal in each of their last five games, while Glenavon failed to score in half of their last four outings.
Despite their offensive woes, Glentoran have managed to impress defensively especially at home as the Glens kept a clean sheet in each of their last four home games in the NIFL Premiership. Bets on under 2.5 goals won in all four matches.
Glenavon recent encounters have equally been very close. All the last four ended with under two goals and I fancy that run to be extended at The Oval on Wednesday night.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Glentoran vs Glenavon prediction: 0-0

Glenavon team news
Like their hosts, Glenavon will be without a player through injury on Wednesday.
Mark Haughey has been struggling with a knock since last December and the defender has been ruled out of Wednesday's clash.
Michael O'Connor, Barney McKeown and Len O'Sullivan are all one yellow card away from suspension, but the visitors don't have a suspended player for this game.
