Newry City AFC host Ards at The Showgrounds Newry, Newry on Saturday, Jan 30 at 4:00 PM in the Championship.
Newry City AFC come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Ards travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Newry City AFC here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Ards, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Newry City AFC a slight edge, but Ards are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
