Ballymena Utd hoping for late surge to seventh
- Published
Ballymena United's post-split fixtures: Bangor (H), Saturday, 28 March, Glenavon (H), Tuesday, 7 April, Carrick Rangers (A), Saturday, 11 April, Portadown (H), Saturday, 18 April, Crusaders (A), Saturday, 25 April
Ballymena United are in a four-horse race to clinch seventh spot and the final European play-off place in their last five games of the season.
Oran Kearney's side have an outside chance as they currently sit nine points behind Carrick Rangers.
Ballymena will have to be near flawless and win all three home games in the split and hope for Carrick to slip up to have any chance of sneaking in.
The Sky Blues are unbeaten in their last three league games and have only lost on three occasions in the league against the other sides that make up the bottom six.
As a result, Kearney will hope his side can make a late surge for the play-offs and end what has been an inconsistent campaign on a high note.
