🗞️ Team News: Ballymena United
Thanks to a mainly available group of players, there is just the lone fitness worry for the Ballymena United boss Jim Ervin to contend with. Johnny McMurray (Knee surgery) won’t be playing here.
✨ Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Ballymena United could find themselves struggling to register a score against this Portadown team who should get the vital goal that wins it.
We’re therefore predicting a very even match with a 1-0 winning score for Portadown when all is said and done.
Should be interesting.
