Both Portadown and Ballymena United have squads capable of dynamic attacking play, which may lead to frequent goal-scoring opportunities. The attacking prowess of key players and potential tactical setups focused on offense could contribute to surpassing the goal threshold, making this bet a favorable option for those seeking a lively match.
Predictions for Both Teams Not to Score
With odds set at 60.70 for both teams not to score, it suggests that while there might be moments of defensive solidity, the overall match is unlikely to end without any goals.

However, considering the attacking potential and previous performances, it remains less likely that neither team will find the back of the net.
