Institute would be looking to keep their hopes of staying in this division next season alive when they play Ballinamallard on Tuesday night on home soil.
The hosts come into this game with one of the worst forms in the league, having won just one of their last 15 league games. As a result of this abysmal record, Brian Donaghey's men are currently eleventh in the table, but a win would see them move up two places in the standings.
As far as Ballinamallard are concerned, not only have they not lost in their last two games, but they have also scored exactly two goals on each occasion. Despite the visitors' offensive prowess, their back line is a major cause for concern. Putting that in perspective, Harry McConkey's men have finished only one of their last eight league games without conceding a goal.
Institute vs Ballinamallard Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Although the hosts have been anything but good this season, the fact that they won the last meeting with Ballinamallard 2-0 will encourage them ahead of Tuesday's game.
And since the visitors have been so good in the final third lately, we expect them to score at least one goal, even if they end up walking off the pitch as losers.

After two straight defeats, Heach coach Brian Donaghey will be sweating over his best possible lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against Ballinamallard.
Jamie Dunne is the club's top scorer this season with seven goals in just four games, so the 25-year-old right winger should definitely be one to watch out for.
