Portadown host Carrick Rangers at Shamrock Park, Portadown on Saturday, Dec 19 at 4:00 PM in the Premiership.
Portadown come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Carrick Rangers, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Portadown head into this on the back of a defeat, while Carrick Rangers arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Portadown and Carrick Rangers have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Portadown won 0–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Portadown a slight edge, but Carrick Rangers are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
