Before kickoff on 📅Hard-nosed betting view:
If you’re putting money on this one, here’s the real talk.
Dungannon Swifts at 3.65 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Premiership this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — analytics guys would fade them.
Glentoran’s 1.88 odds tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The wise guys’ll likely poke at the Draw 3.39 — these big games often follow scripts, and nerves can kill attacking flow.
