These prices from betand win very tasty

with the 16 teams devided into 4 sections this is reverse fixtures of a few weeks ago .

Larne @ 2.65 easily beat Armagh like everyone else last time so same again.

Ballymena @ 1.62 need a win over the Lurgan blues to stay in the hunt.

Cliftonville @ 1.91 had a horror show last week tossing away a 2 goal lead
complaning of refereeing howlers will be determined to win this game.

Glentoran @ 1.50 were not too convincing last week and manager Allan McDonald was scathing in his interview to the local press ,expect a big improvment this week.

Donegal Celtic @ 3.10 win/3.00 draw can get something here Limavady shipping a lot of goals with a poor defence.

Newry @ 2.00 sneaked a last min winnerlast week over C'raine and i see them doing another narrow win over 'Stute

Portadown @ 1.57 looked good when i saw them in the earlier fixture between these pair but C'raine are capable of a upset .

Linfield @ 1.36 are not a great price and in the previous game between this pair struggled to a 1-0 win but should win at Windsor.
