An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 11th place.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premiership Development League match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Cliftonville U20.
Larne U20 form and stats

Larne U20 lost their last game at Cliftonville U20 (placed 1st) after a 0-7 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Dungannon Swifts U20 and winning 1-0.
Larne U20 were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
