Three Premiership home games done for Warrenpoint Town, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Warrenpoint with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Ballymena United game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

In their previous game, the manager B. Gray led his Warrenpoint to a defeat in the Premiership match away at Cliftonville. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Milltown Playing Fields.
Preceding that match was the home game against Glentoran that was lost 0-3.Warrenpoint are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Warrenpoint have let the opposition score 10 times, an average of more than three per game.
Portadown form and stats
