An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 12th place.
Institute and Warrenpoint Town 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.
For Institute relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. For Warrenpoint Town it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.
