Portadown host Crusaders at Shamrock Park, Portadown on Saturday, Dec 5 at 4:00 PM in the Premiership.
Portadown come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Crusaders, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Portadown head into this on the back of a defeat, while Crusaders arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
In 10 previous meetings, Portadown lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Portadown won 0–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Portadown a slight edge, but Crusaders are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
