Newry City AFC welcome Loughgall at The Showgrounds Newry, Newry on Saturday, Jan 23 at 4:00 PM in a Championship fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Newry City AFC come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Loughgall travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Newry City AFC face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Loughgall have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Loughgall won 4–1. 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 Loughgall are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
