General match analysis

Portadown hold a slight edge in recent form: they collected 7 points from five matches through 2 wins and a draw, while Dungannon Swifts earned 6 points. The hosts scored 7 goals during this period but conceded 9, indicating the risk of an open contest. The visitors have been marginally more effective in attack, with 9 goals in five matches, but conceded as many as 11 and lost 3 of those fixtures. This season, Portadown lost their opening match 0:1, while Dungannon suffered a 1:3 defeat, suggesting that the hosts showed more solid defensive organization at the start of the campaign. Home advantage and a less inconsistent recent record give Portadown a slight edge to win, although the visitors’ attacking output increases the likelihood of a draw or both teams scoring.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Recent form clearly supports goals at both ends: Portadown recorded BTTS in 60% of their last five matches, while Dungannon Swifts did so in as many as 100%. During this period, the hosts averaged 1.4 goals scored and 1.8 conceded, while the visitors scored 1.8 goals and conceded 2.2. The xG figures also point to an open game, with Portadown creating chances worth 1.13 xG and Dungannon 1.48 xG, while allowing 1.70 and 1.45 xG respectively. Portadown have yet to keep a clean sheet this season, and their average of 3.0 goals conceded further increases the likelihood of a goal for the visitors. Although the league BTTS average is only 40%, the current data for both teams more strongly supports a scenario in which each side scores at least once — BTTS - Yes / Goal/Goal.

Portadown’s last five matches produced an average of 3.2 goals, with the team scoring 1.4 and conceding 1.8.

The 2.5 line was surpassed in 60% of Portadown’s last five matches and in all five of Dungannon’s appearances, while both teams scored in 60% and 100% of these matches, respectively. The projected xG also points towards goals: the visitors’ attack averages 1.48 xG, while Portadown concede 1.70 xG, making Over 1.5 the safest pick with 2.90 goals expected.

HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Portadown held the lead at the break in 3 of their last 5 matches, while Dungannon Swifts have not once gone into half-time ahead and were trailing after the first half in 60% of those games. The hosts averaged 0.8 goals before the break, twice as many as the visitors’ 0.4, and their points return in this period stood at 2.0 per match compared with 0.4 for their opponents. In their last five appearances, Portadown won 40% of their matches, matching Dungannon’s win rate, although the visitors lost as many as 60% of their games and conceded an average of 2.2 goals per match compared with 1.8 for the hosts. Portadown’s second-half superiority is not certain, as the hosts score only 0.6 goals per match after the break, but Dungannon’s poor first-half record and the hosts’ more favourable pre-break goal difference provide the strongest support for the 1/1 HT/FT outcome.
