Portadown are back in Danske Bank Premiership action this evening (Tue 14 February) when we take on Cliftonville at Solitude, kick off 7:45pm.

Cliftonville come into the game off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Linfield at the National Stadium on Saturday while Portadown’s fixture with Ballymena United ended in a 0-0 stalemate.

The last time the two clubs met was at Solitude back in December, Portadown took an early lead through Greg Moorehouse, Portadown’s first goal at Solitude since January 2014 – a run of 9 games, however Cliftonville would go on to win the game 4-1 thanks to goals from Ronan Hale & a Joe Gormley hat trick.

Portadown have a wretched recent record at Solitude losing the last ten and are without a victory over Cliftonville home or away in their last 21 meetings in all competitions – the last win over Cliftonville came back in January 2014 thanks to a Gary Twigg goal at Solitude.

Portadown will be without skipper Paddy McNally who limped out of Saturdays draw with Ballymena United with a hamstring injury.

The officials are Referee – Steven Gregg / Assistant 1 – Kristian Hanna / Assistant 2 – Rachel Greer / 4th official – Ryan Hanna
