📏 Form Guide

Larne

DWDDWW 📈

Larne will be looking for a repeat result of the 2-1 Premiership triumph over Linfield.

For Larne, the goals were scored by Andy Ryan (79') and Conor McKendry (88'). Kalum Thompson (31') was the scorer 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

Since being beaten in their last game against Dungannon Swifts in Premiership competition, Glentoran will be aiming to make amends 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

An examination of past results between these clubs going back to 24/11/2023 tells us that these fixtures have not been good ones for Glentoran. They have not been able to get themselves any victories at all whereas Larne have just been stronger than them, running out winners in 83 per cent of those ties.

An aggregate of 17 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 13 of them from Larne and 4 for The Glens. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.83.

The last league meeting 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

Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Larne gaffer Gary Haveron to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Ali Omar (Cruciate ligament surgery) is sidelined.

🗞️ Team News: Glentoran

From a largely full-strength group of players, there is just the one fitness problem for the Glentoran gaffer Declan Devine to contend 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.
