Hello again everyone. For my first pick of 2025, we will take a look at a match in a new market for me. AC Port of Spain will go head-to-head with Point Fortin FC on January 12, 2025, at 23:00 PM UTC in a key match in the Trinidad and Tobago Pro League. The stakes couldn’t be higher. AC Port of Spain, strong in 3rd place, looks to hold tight to their spot near the league’s best. Meanwhile, Point Fortin FC, stuck in 10th and near the very bottom, needs points badly to escape the drop zone. This game tells two different stories—a team pushing for success and another fighting to stay alive—creating a thrilling scene for fans under the stadium lights. But before we can make our pick next week, we first need to know where we stand. So, let’s take a little dive into the league and get to know our teams better.
The Trinidad and Tobago Pro League:
The TT Pro League, born in 1999, is the top level for pro soccer in Trinidad and Tobago. In 2023, it got a new name, the TT Premier Football League. This league has long been key to growing the game locally. It helps young players rise and brings more attention to the sport in the area. Teams from both islands battle hard to win and earn places in events like the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield. Over time, it has brought exciting games and strong rivalries, becoming a big part of the nation’s sports life. With its fresh look, the league now focuses on staying modern, pulling in more fans and funds, and staying a place where future stars are made.
The teams
AC Port of Spain: AC Port of Spain, once called Queen’s Park Cricket Club, holds a strong place in Trinidad and Tobago’s sports story. Over time, the club moved from cricket to shine in football. Now playing under its new name, it has become a key team in the TT Premier Football League. They are known for their steady game style and focus on growing young players. With their rebranding, they aimed for bigger goals, pushing beyond local games to compete across the region. This change has made them a top name and a strong force in football in Trinidad and Tobago.
Point Fortin Civic F.C.: On the other side we have Point Fortin Civic F.C., or Point Fortin Civic as they are more often called. The team comes from the south of Trinidad and Tobago and has deep community roots. Established with the intent to represent the vibrant football culture of Point Fortin, the club has long been a symbol of local pride. While the last years may have been a rollercoaster for them, their resilience has defined their identity. Despite their low position, being in the TT Premier Football League is a milestone for them, showcasing their determination to claim a better position for the team.
The Stats and Our Prediction
Next, let’s talk about the stats. It is still early but our home team is doing very well up in the 3rd position in the table. They have 9 points in 4 matches played (placing them head to head with 2nd placed Central FC), with 3 wins and a single defeat, and a nice 7 goals scored and only 3 suffered in that period. The visitors, on the other hand, are doing… Not so fine. They are down in the 10th position of 12 in the table after gaining only 3 points in 4 matches played. In addition, the have a single win and 3 losses with 3 goals scored and 7 suffered (in a twisted reflection of their opponents numbers).
The head to head also places the advantage in the hands of the home team, so their advantage is clear, at least for now.
Update
It is time for our update for last weeks pick. Both teams had big games before this match, which might shape how it goes. Bengaluru FC has been steady and strong near the top, while Mohammedan SC is holding a stable spot in the middle. Their journeys tell different stories, but football is full of surprises, keeping things interesting. In this review, we’ll look closer at how they’re playing now and give our final pick for the winner.
The current stats
Last week, I shared some updates. It’s still early days, but since then, our home team has dropped one spot to 4th place in the standings. This happened after their second loss in this tournament—a tough 6-3 defeat against the leading team, Defense Force FC, on the 3rd. So far, they’ve scored 10 goals but let in 9. On the flip side, the visiting team is showing good progress. They’ve climbed to 7th place after a solid 4-1 win against Eagles FC, who sit last at 12th. With this, they now have 2 wins and 3 losses under their belt, scoring 7 goals and conceding 8. Overall, they’re making strides.
