Based on the provided head-to-head stats, it is evident that Newry City leads the victory scale 6-4, however, the host shows a bad form being the league's worst team with the poorest defence and attack of the season, while Carrick has a chance of securing a spot in play-off for European cups. I'd put my money on an away victory.
