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.

Finn's picks
Cliftonville *** @ 1.91,Glentoran *** @ 1.50 and Newry ** @ 2.00

[Cinny]

Main picks for me are Ballymena who need a win against what i deem a poor Glenavon outfit, they also have away days wit the Glens and Dungannon coming up two hard games.

Also fancy Limavady to get their first win, DC aernt much and having scored 4 goals at home last week against Crusaders if Limavady can tighten their defence i see them getting a win.

Also Cliftonville, Glentoran, Newry, Linfield and Ports should win.
