Linfield and Ballymena Utd are scheduled to meet again after competing in the League Cup. The match is predicted to return to a tough run when they perform at Windsor Stadium on Saturday (23/2).
Linfield managed to come out as the winner last Sunday (17/2) thanks to Andrew Waterworth’s single goal in the 15th minute. This thin difference was enough to help Linfield bring his first title in 2019.
The two camps did appear dominant throughout the year where Linfield still stood at the top of the league standings by a difference of 6 points from Ballymena who chased second. The match above also helped Linfield wipe out the opening 2 matches of the month after a 3-2 win over Coleraine.
On the one hand, yesterday’s score stopped Ballymena’s 3 consecutive wins that have been painstakingly knit since January; at that time they won over Glenavon, Ards and Institute with a score of 0-2, 4-1 and 1-2.
It is Ballymena’s duty to prevent Linfield from flying too far at the top of the table, while keeping the position from the pursuit of Crusaders at number 3 with a difference of 3 points now. However, Ballymena was again haunted by bad memories after losing 2-0 and 2-1 in the last 2 visits to Seaview.
