Larne vs Glentoran Live Stream, Predictions (Apr 26)

📏 Form Guide

Larne

DWDDWW 📈

Larne, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 2-1 Premiership success against Linfield.

For Larne, the scorers were Andy Ryan (79') and Conor McKendry (88'). Kalum Thompson (31') scored for Linfield.

It’s not been often in recent games that Larne haven’t conceded. In fact, Larne have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 7 goals during that time. That pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this match, of course.

Their prior results show that Larne:

• have not been beaten in the league by Glentoran in their previous 9 matches. Quite a long unbeaten run against them.
• are unbeaten in their previous 2 home league matches.

Glentoran

DLWLWL

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Dungannon Swifts in Premiership competition, Glentoran and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

The only player to score from Glentoran was Jordan Jenkins (13', 62'). John McGovern (8'), Leonel Alves (38') and Tomas Galvin (85') scored for Dungannon Swifts.

Illustrating their fondness for fruitful matches, we’ve seen goals 20 times in the last six matches in which Glentoran have played, making it an average of 3.33 goals for each meeting. Opposition teams have got 9 of these goals.

Going into this contest, Glentoran have left without a victory over Larne when having played them away from home in the previous 7 league games. Not good at all.

👥 Head to head

Delving into their past head to head results going back to 24/11/2023 shows that these fixtures have been a source of anguish for Glentoran. They have not managed to get themselves any wins whatsoever whereas Larne have just been stronger than them, finishing as winners in 83 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.

A total of 17 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 13 of them from Larne and 4 netted by The Glens. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.83.

The previous league game featuring these clubs was Premiership match day 26 on 18/03/2025 which finished with the scoreline of Glentoran 2-2 Larne.

The referee was Tim Marshall.

🗞️ Team News: Larne

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Larne manager Gary Haveron to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Ali Omar (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t play.

🗞️ Team News: Glentoran

Thanks to a largely full-strength squad, there’s just the sole fitness worry for the Glentoran gaffer Declan Devine to be concerned with. Josh Kelly (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out for this game.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Glentoran may not find it easy to be putting a goal past this Larne side who we think will likely score one, at least.

We’re therefore anticipating a very even match with a 1-0 win for Larne after 90 minutes.

Let’s see how this one goes.
