This one won't be short of a few goals with both teams scoring freely at the minute. With Stephen Baxter up against his former team it's going to be an exciting one but I think Crusaders will be the ones to get over the line and take the points back to Seaview.

Prediction: 2-3

Cliftonville v Ballymena United (Saturday, 15:00 GMT, coverage on Sportsound)

Jim Magilton's team are starting to heat up. They're scoring plenty and not conceding too many goals while Ballymena have come under pressure recently and have struggled to find the back of the net.

Prediction: 3-0

Dungannon Swifts v Glenavon (Saturday, 15:00 GMT, coverage on Sportsound)

Glenavon are another team struggling to score and I think they're definitely finding it difficult at the moment. Rodney McAree has his team playing a good style of football and they'll be going into the game high in confidence.

Prediction: 2-1

Glentoran v Portadown (Saturday, 15:00 GMT, coverage on Sportsound)

I'm not 100% sure which way this goes. Glentoran have done okay recently, and the same can be said for Portadown but I'll back my home town team to take the win.

Prediction: 2-3

Loughgall v Coleraine (Saturday, 15:00 GMT, coverage on Sportsound)

I'd say these are the games Oran Kearney needs to win to be a force in the league. They're slightly inconsistent, but a young team in progression and Loughgall will make them fight for it I'm sure.

Predication: 1-2

Larne v Linfield (Saturday, 17:30 GMT, live on on BBC iPlayer & BBC Sport NI website)

Larne are going into this one off the back of a good win in the cup, but the league is so important for them. If David Healy can find a result at Inver Park, it'll put a lot more pressure on Larne. A sign of a good team is when they continue to win, even if they're not playing the best, and I think that's what's happening with Linfield at the minute.

Prediction: 1-2
