General match analysis
Glentoran sit fourth in the table and have won 3 of their last 5 matches, while 12th-placed Portadown have failed to win any during that period. At home, the hosts average 0.6 goals and have failed to score in 60% of their matches, whereas the visitors average 1.5 goals away from home and have scored in every match so far. The difference in attacking output is reflected in Glentoran’s average of 4.5 shots on target away from home, compared with Portadown’s 2.4 at home, although the gap in chance quality is narrower: their xG figures are 1.38 and 1.21, respectively. The hosts’ defence is also a concern: they concede an average of 1.8 goals at home, have yet to keep a clean sheet, and have conceded 10 goals in their last 5 matches. However, Glentoran have lost 2 of their 4 away fixtures, so despite the strong case for an away win, a draw remains a realistic outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The case for BTTS - Yes is supported by the fact that Portadown and Glentoran both average 1.5 goals per match, and neither has yet finished a match without scoring. Both teams also scored in 60% of their last 5 matches. Their attacking potential is closely matched: average xG stands at 1.40 for the hosts and 1.38 for the visitors, supporting the scenario in which both teams find the net. However, caution is warranted, as Portadown keep a clean sheet in 50% of matches and have averaged just 0.8 goals in their last 5 games. Despite this, I favour BTTS - Yes, particularly since Glentoran keep a clean sheet less often, in 25% of matches, while both teams have scored in 75% of their games.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest signal points to Under 3.5 goals: in the matches covered by the data for both teams, this line was never exceeded, although Portadown went over 1.5 goals in 100% of its matches, as did Glentoran. Both teams average 1.5 goals scored, but their average xG figures are 1.40 and 1.38, respectively, which does not indicate a clear attacking advantage for either side. In their last five matches, Portadown averaged 0.8 goals scored and 2.0 conceded, while Glentoran scored 1.6 and conceded 0.8; this gives the visitors a greater chance of finding the net, without equally strong evidence for a high-scoring game involving both teams. The 2.5-goal line is less clear-cut, as it was exceeded in 33% of Portadown's matches and 75% of Glentoran's, so with a forecast total of 2.45 goals, Under 3.5 remains the safer pick.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A draw at half-time followed by a Glentoran win is the most likely outcome: the visitors were level at the break in 3 of their 4 away matches, while both teams were level at half-time in 2 of their last 5 meetings. The visitors’ current form also supports an away win: Glentoran have won 3 of their last 5 matches, while Portadown have failed to win any. Over this period, the visitors averaged 1.6 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per match, while the hosts averaged 0.8 scored and 2.0 conceded. The second half could decide the result: across their last 5 matches, Glentoran averaged 0.8 goals after the break, while Portadown conceded 1.2 in that period. However, this is not a risk-free pick: the hosts have won 50% of their home matches, so an away win with Glentoran leading at the break remains a significant possibility.
