Today’s game will also offer an early look at the two teams ahead of next month’s Concacaf Caribbean Club Championship. A win would take Mount Pleasant joint third with Racing United on 17 points, while Portmore would move into sixth place ahead of Arnett Gardens. Mount Pleasant are unbeaten in their last six games after losing their first two and have won three of their last four. Their expensively assembled strike force also appears to be finding its rhythm, with Warner Brown, Daniel Green, Trayvon Reid, and Nickalia Fuller all capable of making a difference. However, Mount Pleasant have conceded as many goals as they have scored, 10, and will need to tighten up defensively against a Portmore team looking to bounce back from Sunday’s defeat. Portmore have won just once in their last six Premier League games, a victory over Treasure Beach. They also came from behind twice to earn a draw against Montego Bay United. They were beaten by league leaders Tru-Juice FC on Sunday and will be looking to return to winning ways against Mount Pleasant.
