Only a few games have been played in the Premiership so far, with Cliftonville placed 4th and Warrenpoint Town sitting in the 6th position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Warrenpoint Town's home stadium. The visitors last four games on artifical turf have ended in 1 win, 0 draws and 3 losses.
