11. Portadown (14 points)
Portadown threatened a relegation great escape under Niall Currie last season and their home form was the platform which gave them a lifeline.

12. Loughgall (13 points)
Loughgall have enjoyed an impressive return to Premiership level this season, collecting 13 points from 12 matches at Lakeview Park to steer well clear of any potential relegation trouble, sitting just one point adrift of sixth-placed Coleraine.
