Key Players To Watch: Ballymena vs Linfield

Success Edogun (Ballymena) The 24-year-old striker is fresh from netting in the recent loss to Cliftonville and scored two weeks before that, so will be hungry to add to his tally this season.

Kieran Offord (Linfield) The Linfield forward scored three goals in UEFA Conference League qualifying and got a hat-trick in the Northern Irish Premiership last month, so he is certainly Linfield's biggest attacking threat.
