Coleraine FC travel to Clandeboye Park this Saturday to face Bangor in the NIFL Premiership. The match kicks off at 3pm local time on 3 October 2026.
Oran Kearney's side lead the league standings with 22 points from nine games, but they head to County Down aiming to respond after a 1-3 home defeat to Linfield last week. That result ended a run of four consecutive league victories.
Despite the recent setback, the Bannsiders have won four of their last five Premiership matches. Their recent results include a 1-0 win over Limavady United, a 2-1 victory at Glentoran, and a 3-2 success against Ballymena United. They have scored 19 goals this season while conceding only eight.
The hosts have found points hard to come by, with just one win in their last five league outings. That was a 3-1 home victory over Portadown. In their other recent fixtures, they have suffered defeats to Crusaders, Limavady United and Larne, and managed a draw at Glentoran. Bangor currently sit 11th in the table.
Coleraine FC will be looking to Matthew Shevlin, who scored their consolation goal against Linfield, to lead the line again. The team's strong defensive record and position at the summit of the standings will give them confidence for the trip. Their next assignment after this is another away fixture.
