Ballymena United vs Portadown FC
CLASS D
THE READ
No firm call: the read leans Portadown FC, but the likeliest score is 1-1. Ballymena United have not won any of their last six. The historical goal rates suggest a higher-scoring game, but the final match read leans under 2.5 goals. A quiet first half is likely. Portadown FC receive nearly two and a half a game in cards. No main bet: nothing we back is priced at 1.15 or more.
