With the tense opening match done it’s time for the second Premiership duel of the season. Carrick Rangers look forward to welcoming Warrenpoint Town in front of their stadium regulars.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Carrick and Warrenpoint Town.

Carrick faced defeat in their previous match, away at Cliftonville (1-2).
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Warrenpoint Town (1-3).The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Carrick as they have a new game in only four days, a Premiership match thankfully also at home. Coleraine are visiting.
