Is Ballymena Utd vs Linfield on TV? Live stream, betting odds and more for the NIFL Premiership clash

Linfield could all but end the Danske Bank Premiership title race tonight.

The Blues travel to the Ballymena Showgrounds knowing victory will extend their lead at the top to 12 points with just four games remaining.

And with a superior goal difference than their title rivals, the Gibson Cup will be edging closer to Windsor Park.

But Ballymena have their own targets, notably finishing second to guarantee European football next season.

David Jeffrey's Sky Blues currently sit four points ahead of third-placed Crusaders.

What have they said?

Ballymena boss David Jeffrey: "All along, it's been everybody else who has been talking about titles and being contenders. We have never really alluded to that. Obviously it's nice to be up there and in the mix but our aim at the beginning of the season was top six and to try crack Europe, that's what we are focusing on, and our focus has not changed in any way, shape or form."

Linfield boss David Healy: "It's a big game. Ballymena have had a phenomenal season under a manager who is known for success in the league so we'll go down there and we're under no illusions as to how big a game it will be but we'll look forward to the challenge."
