Team News: Glentoran
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Glentoran boss Declan Devine to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group. Josh Kelly (Cruciate ligament injury) is out of contention.

Team News: Larne
Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Larne manager Gary Haveron to be concerned about. Ali Omar (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t be playing here.
💭
Prediction
In our opinion, Larne and Glentoran could both find goals hard to come by here.
We’ll see, but this could easily end up all-square. Our tip is therefore for a very competitive game with a 0-0 scoreline at full-time.
