Carrick Rangers host Ballymena United at Taylors Avenue, Carrickfergus on Saturday, Feb 27 at 4:00 PM in the Premiership.
Carrick Rangers come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 1L). Ballymena United travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Carrick Rangers and Ballymena United have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Ballymena United won 3–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Carrick Rangers a slight edge, but Ballymena United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
