It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Carrick Rangers have kept a clean sheet.

Newry City
LLDDLL ⚠
Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Coleraine in Premiership action, Newry City and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
Conor McKendry (6') and Matthew Shevlin (30') scored for Coleraine.
Indicating their bias toward fruitful encounters, the back of the net has been hit 20 times in the last six matches in which Newry City have sent out their troops, yielding an average of 3.33 goals each clash. Opposition teams have managed 16 of this grand total.
Their prior results show that Newry City:
- haven't been beaten by Carrick Rangers when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.
- are without an away win for the past 9 league games. It's not a good run at all.

📰 Team News: Carrick Rangers
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Carrick Rangers gaffer Stuart King to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group. Reece Glendinning (Ankle surgery) misses out.
ℹ️ Team News: Newry City
From a largely full-strength group, there is only the sole fitness issue for the Newry City manager Barry Gray to contend with. Steven Ball (Knock) misses out for this game.
⚡ Prediction
In our view, Carrick Rangers should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
However, Newry City could well find it tough to score although we do think it’s probable that they will be getting enough chances to score, too.
We’re predicting a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Carrick Rangers by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
