Coleraine and Carrick Rangers meet at The Showgrounds, Coleraine on Saturday, Jan 2 at 4:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Premiership. Just 2 points separate them in the standings.
Coleraine come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Carrick Rangers, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
In 10 previous meetings, Coleraine lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Coleraine a slight edge, but Carrick Rangers are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
