Our pre-match preview

Both sides are likely to set out to control the middle of the park, with the home side probably pressing to win the ball high and the visitors looking to break quickly into the gaps behind. Expect a tight, physical match where chances come from transitions rather than sustained possession.

The key battle is likely to be between Coleraine's midfield pressing and Portadown's ability to play through it under pressure. Whichever side wins that duel in the middle third will probably determine how many clear chances are created.
