✨ Prediction

It looks to us like Portadown will need to play some great football to get a goal against a Coleraine lineup who appear set to create a lot of chances for themselves and convert these into goals.

Our selection here is for a very comprehensive 3-0 victory for Coleraine after 90 minutes.
