Larne

WWDDWW 📈

Larne will be looking for a repeat result of a 2-0 Premiership success over Linfield.

Their more recent scorelines reveal that quality has been evident in the Larne backline. Larne have been miserly, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their past six outings standing at 2. However, we will just have to wait and see if the trend will be maintained in this upcoming match.

Their past results show that Larne:

• have not emerged victorious against Carrick Rangers in home games against them for the last 2 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 14 league matches at home. Incredible, really.

Carrick Rangers

LLDWLL

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Glenavon in Premiership action, Carrick Rangers will be hoping to turn things around here.

The only name on the scoresheet from Carrick Rangers was Danny Purkis (75'). Aaron Prendergast (63') and Jack Malone (81') scored for Glenavon.

A number of fairly feeble displays from the Carrick Rangers defensive unit has resulted in a sum of 20 goals being surrendered by them in just their last six outings. They will certainly want to improve on this sub-par facet of their game.

💭 Prediction

Our feeling is that Carrick Rangers have it in them to score against this Larne outfit, but that probably won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re going for a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for Larne at the end of the 90 minutes. Could easily see this go either way.
