Our Prediction for St Joseph's vs Cliftonville
The team from "Victoria" still struggles to become the best even in their native Gibraltar. Last season, as in 2023/2024, they finished second (although after the first half of the championship they confidently led Lincoln by three points, but eventually lost to the favorite). However, they managed to secure a victory in the Pepe Reyes Cup, their second ever. Following that, there has been a two-month break since early May.
The opponent from North Belfast does not have full professional status. But they have won the Northern Ireland championship five times, including during the 2013-2014 season. Currently, they finished only in seventh place, but then won the playoffs for a spot in European competitions, also claiming another League Cup. In another, more prestigious final, the Northern Ireland Cup, they lost to Dungannon on penalties.
The Gibraltarians scored 65 goals and conceded just fifteen in 25 matches last season. The current visitors average 1.55 goals scored per match while conceding 1.03.
