The Portadown manager M. Tipton attacks this game with the team placed 9th so far. In the visitors dressing room Glentoran and their manager M. McDermott are in 12th place before this match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Portadown form and stats
Portadown are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Premiership games here at Shamrock Park. Game days at Shamrock Park have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Portadown as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
No payout for Portadown in their previous match, an away game at Carrick Rangers that ended in defeat 1-4. Preceding that match was the home game against Linfield that was lost 1-2.
Early season league goal statistics from Portadown's 2 home games: 1 goal, 5 conceded.
Glentoran form and stats
It's not happening yet for Glentoran on their Premiership travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Glentoran have lost on their last two travels.
Glentoran's last game was the home draw against Larne (0-0). A 1-2 defeat away at Coleraine before that.
1 goal so far away for Glentoran, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
