Glentoran FC vs Larne FC Prediction: A tough encounter ahead

Glentoran and Larne will go head-to-head at the Oval for their 15th round of matches in the Northern Ireland Premier League. Both teams lost woefully in their last league game but this game brings a glimmer of hope and we can expect goals from both teams. The last time they met, Larne stole the show with a 2-0 victory. Can they do it again at the Oval? Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Glentoran FC (4th)

Form in the League: LDWWD

Glentoran got the first goal of the game in their most recent league game against Coleraine but it was only a matter of time before Matthew Shevlin stood up to the task and scored 2 goals in the space of 5 minutes putting Glentoran in a dilemma. The game ended in a 2-1 defeat to the Glens. 

They’ve now won 2 games with 2 draws and a loss in their last 5 league games. They are currently in 5th place on the league table with overall league statistics of 6 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses from the 14 league games played. 

Larne FC (9th)

Form in the League: LDLWW

Larne continues to have it worse as they also suffered a defeat to Portadown in their last league game. Larne got the first goal of the game but they were pegged and they ultimately lost the game with a 2-1 scoreline. Larne’s run in the Uefa Conference league started with a defeat at the hands of Molde and they also suffered a defeat at the hands of Shamrock Rovers last week Thursday. They are currently in 9th place in the league table with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses from the 10 games played. They still have three outstanding games to play in the league.
