👉 Our prediction is: Portadown to win the 1st half

Portadown will head in to face Carrick Rangers with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.

We are tipping Portadown to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against Carrick Rangers, at least until half-time.

👉 Our prediction is: Portadown win or draw

Our evaluations have shown there is not much separating Carrick Rangers and Portadown overall. But given the extra betting edge that comes with the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw is enough to win the bet, we recommend taking Portadown to win or draw in this match.

With odds of 1.48, there is a good deal of value on Portadown to pull off a potential upset away from home against Carrick Rangers, who have not been in the best form of late.
