This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premiership, Warrenpoint Town holding 9th place and Portadown lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

  • Warrenpoint Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Portadown have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

It's no vacation for neither Warrenpoint nor Portadown as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Warrenpoint Town form and stats

Warrenpoint Town's struggle is real here at Milltown Playing Fields with only 12 points collected from 14 Premiership games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-6-6. All in all it has been a very rough period for Warrenpoint Town who hasn’t won a league-game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against Crusaders, 48 days ago. With eight 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 Dungannon Swifts game long ago, can be stopped today.

Warrenpoint are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 207 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by K. Dillon).

Prior to that, an away loss at Larne.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Warrenpoint Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.

Portadown form and stats

There's been little loot from Portadown's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 15 away games in the Premiership. Portadown only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. Portadown seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

A loss against Cliftonville was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Portadown have scored 18 goals in 15 league games away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Portadown's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 38 goals in 15 travels.

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Portadown - Warrenpoint 0-2. Last ten meetings between the teams: Warrenpoint won five, Portadown won two and three draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
