Northern Ireland football fans — We're off to Northern Ireland tonight

"Warrenpoint have lost 17 of their 21 league games, and they face a Ballymena side that has won four in a row at home in the league."

Back Ballymena +0.5 & +1.0 at 1.8810/11

It's been a profitable week so far on FBOTD, and Kev's looking for another success in Northern Ireland.

Basement battlers to slip again

Ballymena United v Warrenpoint Town
Saturday 22 January, 15:00

It was an agonising wait, but with just five minutes left, veteran striker Nikola Kalinic bagged a winner for Verona and landed out Over 2.5 Goals bet. Bologna left with no points after a 2-1 reverse, but frankly, we couldn't care less.

We're spending our Saturday afternoon on Northern Ireland, because Ballymena United are up against rock-bottom Warrenpoint Town, and the hosts should come through for us.

Warrenpoint Town have won just two of their 21 games in the Premiership, and they have lost 17 times. On the road they have lost eight of their last 11, and have failed to score in eight of those defeats.

Ballymena are in a roll at home, and have won their last four league games at The Showgrounds. They have scored at least twice in all four of those victories. Overall they have won six of their last ten, and last time they played at home to Warrenpoint Town, they won 3-0.

We can back Ballymena +0.5 and +1.0 on the Asian Handicap at 1.8810/11, which means a one-goal win gives us a half-win, and a bigger win gives us a full pay-out.
