Linfield are back on home turf with Ballymena Utd the visitors to Windsor Park (3pm k.o. all ticket). The teams have met once this season with Ballymena winning 1-0 at The Showgrounds in September.
The Sky Blues come to Belfast sitting 6th in the table, looking for a positive result after losing their last 2 league games. Manager Jim Ervin has assembled a strong squad laced with experience, including midfielder Ben Kennedy, who has been pivotal to the team since signing from Crusaders in 2024.
It was a tough night for Linfield in midweek at Solitude as hosts Cliftonville won 4-1. David Healy will, however, be determined to turn round what has been a difficult week with a match winning performance from his team.
COYB!
