๐ Form Guide
Coleraine
LLWLWW
Coleraine will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 0-2 Premiership success over Newry City.
For Coleraine, the scorers were Conor McKendry (6') and Matthew Shevlin (30').
A recurring trait of more recent Coleraine games is the number of results with a nil in them.
Taking their previous sextet of matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would have been a losing one. Having said that, time will tell if that trend might persist in this upcoming game.
Larne
WWWWWW ๐ฏ
Larne come into this game following a 4-1 Irish Cup win with the downing of Newington in their last outing.
The only name on the scoresheet from Larne was Levi Ives (47').
A tendency of at least one team not scoring a goal in games involving Larne has been fairly consistent recently. Examining their last 6 outings reveals that itโs happened 5 times. In these clashes, their opponents have hit a goal total of 1 while Larne have scored 18.
Their past results show that Larne:
- have not won against Coleraine when having played them away from home in the previous 6 league matches. Not the best of away records.
- are undefeated in their last 10 away league matches. They've been so good on the road.
๐ฅ Head to head
Looking at the statistics for their head to head meetings stretching back to 01/10/2022, neither club has come out on top overall with Coleraine winning 2 of those games, Larne 2 and 2 being draws after 90 minutes of play.
9 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 5 of them for The Bannsiders and 4 being from Larne. The average number of goals per game works out to 1.5.
The last league clash between the two was Premiership match day 17 on 17/11/2023 which ended up with the score at Larne 2-0 Coleraine.
The referee was Keith Kennedy.
๐ฐ Team News: Coleraine
Rodney Brown (Knock) and Adam Mullan (Fitness) will not be able to play for Coleraine boss Oran Kearney.
โน๏ธ Team News: Larne
Larne boss Tiernan Lynch has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Ali Omar (surgery) and Shaun Want (Muscle tear) will not be playing here.
โจ Prediction
In our view, Coleraine could well find it tough to score goals against this Larne side who should be able to grind out a win.
We therefore think that itโs going to be a very competitive game with a 0-1 winning score for Larne at the end of the 90.
There should be little in it.
