Larne FC vs Coleraine FC Prediction: Both teams will find the net

Larne will take on Coleraine in their round 32 game in the Northern Ireland Premier League. Larne have now made it two consecutive league wins in their last two league games, while Coleraine, on the other hand, is on a winning spree with three consecutive league victories in their last 3 league games. The last time they met, Larne stole the show with a 2-1 victory, and we envisage a different dynamic in this game but a game filled with goals. We envisage goals from both teams and a total of over 2.5 goals. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, their key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Larne FC (3rd)

Form in the League: WWLWL

Larne has now made it two consecutive league victories in their last two league games with a phenomenal victory against Ballymena United in their last league game. Ballymena United got the opening goal of the game in the 8th minute, but Larne came back with a goal each in the first half and second half of the game. With the regular season nearing its end, Larne must continue to get positive results if they intend to make it to the championship round, and it all boils down to their performance in their upcoming game against Coleraine. 

They are currently in 3rd place in the league table with 14 wins, 7 draws, and 9 losses from the 30 games played. They still have an outstanding game to play in the league. Andy Ryan leads the team on goals this season with 8 goals to his name. 

Coleraine FC (7th)

Form in the League: WWWLW

For Coleraine, it’s all about making it to the championship round with two games left to the end of the regular season. Coleraine is in the relegation playoff zone with an outstanding game in hand, and a defeat on Saturday could be detrimental to their Championship round dreams. Coleraine have been in the form of their lives with three consecutive league victories in their last three league games. Their most recent league game against Glenavon ended in a narrow 0-1 victory. 

Coleraine is now 7th placed in the league with 12 wins, 8 draws, and 10 losses from 30 games played, and Matthew Shevlin is the league's top scorer with 17 goals scored in the league.

Head-To-Head Statistics

A critical look at their last 10 encounters produced 4 wins for Larne, 2 wins for Coleraine, and 4 draws.  

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams are in amazing form, and we are about to witness a great game at Inver Park on Saturday. Coleraine must keep up the momentum, and they cannot afford to back down now, with two games left to the end of the regular season. A defeat here could be detrimental to their qualification to the Championship round, and they might have to fight for their place next season in the relegation playoffs. Larne, on the other hand, seems to have everything sorted, but a victory here will give them the much-required confidence for their position in the Championship round. I envisage a very tough game, and I believe both teams will find the net. Another interesting option would be to leverage on a total of over 2.5 goals as both teams will go all out for goals. 

My first prediction is a minimum of two goals for either team at 1.83 odds for 1xBet. 

Our second prediction is for both teams to score, for 1.88 odds for Betway. 

Our third prediction is a total of over 2.5 goals at 2.20 odds at Bet365.
