Predictions & Betting Tips
Crusaders show a mild home advantage over Ballymena United on the road, but the difference is minimal. Expect a competitive and possibly low-margin game.
Both sides usually score at least once in their last 10 home/away games (Crusaders 100%, Ballymena United 100%), though three or more goals are less consistent. Over 1.5 goals is the safer selection.
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. Crusaders have at least 2 goals in 100% 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.
