The visiting Larne side should be favourites in this visit to Dungannon Swifts, as the away team holds a 25 point advantage from their 22 league games this season.
- Dungannon Swifts have the fewest scored goals (14) in Premiership
- Larne have scored more than double the goals of Dungannon Swifts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Dungannon are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Larne is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Dungannon Swifts form and stats
With 2 Premiership wins, 0 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Dungannon Swifts, who have the fewest scored goals (14) in Premiership, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Dungannon Swifts are slowly digging their own grave here at Stangmore Park with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Coleraine match. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Dungannon with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Warrenpoint Town game, 24 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Heartbreak before that as Dungannon lost 1-4 at Warrenpoint Town's place.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Dungannon as they are travelling to their away game against Linfield in the Premiership. That match is three days after this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Dungannon here at Stangmore Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 10 games). Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Dungannon with 21 goals conceded in these matches.
Larne form and stats
3 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Larne playing as the away team in the Premiership this season.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Larne manager T. Lynch as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Carrick Rangers.
Larne are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 14 times in 9 away games so far. Larne have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
