Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)

The Championship league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 8th and 12th respectively.

Newry City AFC and PSNI should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Newry City AFC form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first game of the season here. Last season these fans witnessed 3 wins, 3 draws and 11 losses from Newry City AFC's 17 home games. Three consecutive losses here is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Newry City AFC manager D. Mullen and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Dundela in the Championship. Before that match, a win away at Ards.

There will be little rest for Newry City AFC after this match as they are travelling to Loughgall for a Irish League Cup game in only three days.

Early season goal statistics from Newry City AFC's 1 home game: 3 goals, 4 conceded.

PSNI form and stats

No points yet away for PSNI, from their first 2 matches. With two straight losses from their last two away games, PSNI are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Irish League Cup trip to Institute.
