Warrenpoint Town form and stats
With 1 Premiership win, 0 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Warrenpoint Town are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Premiership games in a row without a win, the Warrenpoint fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ballymena United game long ago, can be stopped today.
A good away victory last time out for Warrenpoint, who won 2-1 against Carrick Rangers (placed 7th).
Ahead of that match, Warrenpoint Town lost 0-3 at home to Glenavon.Warrenpoint are traveling soon after this match as the Premiership match at Larne awaits in four days.

A loss against Carrick Rangers was the result prior to that, in a home game.The schedule is very tough for Ballymena now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premiership game at Cliftonville is waiting in only four days.
