General match analysis
Coleraine lead the table and remain unbeaten after three matches this season, while Portadown have lost all three of their games. Away from home, the visitors have won both matches, scoring an average of 2.5 goals and conceding just 0.5, whereas the hosts are yet to score at home. Coleraine’s superiority in chance creation is clear: they average 14 shots, including 6 on target, compared with Portadown’s 7 attempts and just 1 shot on target. This is also reflected in the average xG figures, with 1.80 for the visitors versus 0.99 for the hosts, while Portadown allow opponents chances worth an average of 1.69 xG. Although Portadown have enjoyed 56% possession, they have failed to convert it into goals and have not scored in any home match, making a Coleraine win the most likely outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS - No is the stronger scenario, as Portadown have not scored a goal in the season data and failed to find the net in 100% of their matches. Coleraine average 2.5 goals per game, have an xG of 1.80, and have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their appearances, which clearly increases the risk of another goalless match for the hosts. In their last five matches, Portadown improved their attack to an average of 1.6 goals and recorded BTTS in 60% of games, but Coleraine recorded BTTS in only 20% of this sample. The league average for BTTS is just 38%, while the clean-sheet rate is as high as 69%, so the competition profile also favours a scenario in which at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Portadown’s last five matches produced an average of 3.2 goals, while Coleraine’s matches averaged 2.8 goals, with both teams exceeding the 2.5-goal line in 60% of those games. During this period, Portadown scored 1.6 goals per match and conceded 1.6, while Coleraine conceded as many as 1.8 goals per game. The chance-quality data also points to an open game: the hosts’ average xG is 1.15, compared with Coleraine opponents’ xG of 1.35, while Coleraine average 1.50 xG against 1.64 allowed by Portadown. The strongest selection is Over 1.5 goals, as the projected total of 2.82 goals and the defensive figures of both teams clearly reduce the risk of the match ending with no more than one goal.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Coleraine win at the final whistle. In the current data, Portadown were level at the break in 100% of their matches, compared with 50% for Coleraine, while the visitors conceded an average of 0.0 goals before half-time. Coleraine score an average of 2.5 goals per match and have won 100% of their games so far. They look particularly strong after the break, scoring an average of 2.0 goals and winning the second half in 100% of cases. However, the last five matches call for caution, as Portadown led at half-time in 40% of them, while Coleraine were trailing after 45 minutes in 40%. Therefore, a draw in the first half is safer than backing the visitors to lead at the break. After half-time, both teams have scored in 80% of their last five matches, but Coleraine’s greater attacking potential points to a full-time win.
