Head to head. In the last seven meetings Ballinamallard United have won five, drawn one and lost one. Four of the seven went over 2.5 goals and both teams scored in one. In the last four, Ballinamallard United won two, one was drawn and Queens University won one. The last time they met, on 10 Oct 2026, it finished Ballinamallard United 1-0 Queens University.
Where it pulls both ways. Queens University are the form side, but the meetings favour Ballinamallard United: in the last seven meetings, Ballinamallard United won five, Queens University won one and one was drawn.
The read. No side to back. An open game. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side. Their goals for and against point to an open game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 54%. Four of the last seven meetings went over 2.5.
The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Queens University or Over 1.5 Goals (no result call); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); Under 5.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: Ballinamallard United 1-2 Queens University (10% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (an open game).
