Larne FC vs Portadown FC Prediction: Larne may get a 4th consecutive league victory

Larne is gearing up to host Portadown at Inver Park for their outstanding round 4 league game, and they're looking strong for their 4th consecutive league win. Larne has been on a roll, with three back-to-back league victories, and they're slowly climbing up the league ranks. Portadown, on the other hand, has been inconsistent, with only one win and four losses in their last five league games. Larne, however, has been unbeaten in their last six league games, setting the stage for an exciting match on Saturday. My prediction is that Larne will either win or draw this game. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Larne FC (6th)

Form in the League: WWWDW

Larne didn't have the best start to the season, but manager Gary Haveron is turning things around. They're getting stronger and stronger, and have now won three league games in a row, including a 2-1 win over Ballymena United last week. What's interesting is that Larne has 8 games in hand, and if they can win all of those, they'll be right in the mix for a top 3 finish. 

They are well positioned for another win or draw as they take on Portadown who will not go down without a fight. They are currently in 6th place in the league table with 10 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses from the 19 games played. They still have 8 outstanding games to play in the league. Andy Ryan leads the team on goals this season with 6 goals to his name this season. 

Portadown FC (4th)

Form in the League: LLWLL

Portadown have had their fair share of inconsistencies in their last 5 league games as they have recorded a victory and 4 losses in their last 5 league games. Aside their recent failures, Portadown is exceeding our expectations in the league this season as they are currently 4th placed. Portadown lost woefully to Crusaders in their last league game with the game ending in a 3-2 defeat to Portadown. Their overall league statistics are 11 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses from the 25 league games played.
