A key match in Championship as both teams are battling for the top positions. With the home team in 3rd position and the visitors placed 1st, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Loughgall are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 3rd place whatever happens now. Happy, happy days for Portadown who are already winners of the Championship. This could affect their motivation.
