Predictions & Betting Tips

Carrick Rangers show a mild home advantage over Ballymena United on the road, but the difference is minimal. Expect a competitive and possibly low-margin game.

Carrick Rangers consistently play high-scoring home matches (Over 2.5 in 70%). Even if Ballymena United are less prolific on the road (40%), the hosts’ attacking threat could drive the game over 2.5 goals.

BTTS trends are mixed over the recent 10 games: one team may score while the other doesn’t. This market carries more uncertainty, so combining with goals or win stats is advised.

Both teams regularly see at least 8 corners in recent games, making Over 7.5 Corners a safer option.

Our Tip: Over 1.5 Goals is a reliable option. Carrick Rangers have at least 2 goals in 70% of their last 10 home games, while Ballymena United do the same in 100% of their last 10 away games. A steady option if higher goal totals feel risky.
