Larne

DWDDWW 📈

Larne will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 2-1 Premiership victory versus Linfield.

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

Larne have been conceding pretty frequently recently, although they have also found ways to hit the back of the net themselves. Looking at their last 6 games, Larne have seen their goal breached in 5 of them as well as managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those games.

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

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Dungannon Swifts in Premiership action, Glentoran will be aiming to make amends here.

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

Illustrating their penchant for fruitful encounters, the back of the net has been hit 20 times in the prior six matches in which Glentoran have taken to the pitch, making it a mean average of 3.33 goals per clash. Opposing teams have got 9 from this total. However, it remains to be seen whether that trend shall be sustained here in this match or not.

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

Looking over their past head to head meetings stretching back to 24/11/2023 reveals that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Glentoran. They have not managed to get any victories at all whereas Larne have simply been better than them, running out winners in 83 per cent of those matches.

A combined total of 17 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 13 for Larne and 4 for The Glens. That’s an average goals per game of 2.83.

The previous league match between these sides was Premiership match day 26 on 18/03/2025 when it ended Glentoran 2-2 Larne.

The referee was Tim Marshall.

📋 Team News: Larne

Looking at personnel, there is just the sole fitness concern for the Larne manager Gary Haveron to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Ali Omar (Cruciate ligament surgery) is out of contention.

📰 Team News: Glentoran

From a largely full-strength group, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Glentoran boss Declan Devine to be concerned with. Josh Kelly (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be playing here.

⚡ 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.
