Dungannon Swifts form and stats

Three Premiership home games done for Dungannon Swifts, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Dungannon with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Crusaders game, 41 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Dungannon Swifts haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 221 minutes ago. McCready scored that one.

In their previous game, the manager Shiels led his Dungannon Swifts to a defeat away at Newry City AFC. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stangmore Park.

Preceding that match was the home game against Coleraine that was lost 0-5.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dungannon have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Dungannon Swifts having conceded 8 goals here at Stangmore Park so far.

Portadown form and stats

It's not happening yet for Portadown on their Premiership travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's looking increasingly bleak for Portadown who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Linfield was the last time a defeat was avoided.

The manager Doolin was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Shamrock Park. Portadown suffered a 0-1 loss to Larne (placed 5th).

A 1-2 loss hosting Cliftonville before that.

We have checked recent matches where Portadown have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 7 games were 3 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

1 goal so far away for Portadown, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 6. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Dungannon Swifts have avoided defeat in the last 4 games (3-1-0) against Portadown.
