Following the rescheduling of the Linfield fixture, Coleraine look towards their first meeting of the season with Crusaders at a venue they have historically struggled to pick up the desired result.

In recent years, Crusaders have a strong home record against Coleraine - just one loss in their last eight league meetings at Seaview, scoring 15 and conceding six.

Coleraine will look to implement their momentum in the League against the Crus who themselves have had a bit of a slow start to the season, with one victory and three losses

A win for Coleraine tomorrow allows them to continue to put pressure on League leaders Glentoran FC, who they are ever so slightly behind on in the table.

Coleraine skipper Lyndon Kane spoke ahead of tomorrows fixture, saying: "Obviously, they’re bringing in players that you don’t know an awful lot about, but we’ve done a good bit of analysis on them.

“We have a few Scottish lads ourselves, so you’re getting snippets of information from them on what they’re about.

“They might play slightly differently than what they used to, but it’s always been a tough place to go for us, but not just us, anyone.

“We know we’re going to be in for a tough test…but, obviously, we go there full of confidence.

“We’ve won three games out of four. If we go and put on a performance the way we know we can, then hopefully we can come away with a win.”
