A key match in Premiership as both teams are battling for the top positions. With the home team in 3rd position and the visitors placed 4th, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Cliftonville and Larne.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Larne have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
