Dungannon Swifts reach the sixth round in second place on 12 points: five matches, four wins and one defeat, eight goals scored and three conceded. At Stangmore Park, though, the record reads one win and one defeat in two games, three goals scored and three conceded, while on the road the return is perfect: three trips, three wins, five goals scored and a clean sheet throughout. Their recent run is four straight victories broken by one loss. Linfield sit third on the same 12 points, separated by goal difference: four wins and one defeat in five rounds as well, six goals scored and four conceded. At home the tally is three wins and one defeat in four matches, four goals scored and four conceded, while their single away trip ended in a 2-0 win. Their sequence was also interrupted in the last round after four consecutive victories. The competition average is 2.63 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
