We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Glentoran form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at The Oval as Glentoran have scored 22 goals to get 20 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Premiership are 6-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). Glentoran haven’t lost a league-game in 14 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Linfield, 94 days ago.
An away draw last time out for Glentoran, facing Linfield in a game that ended 1-1.
In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Coleraine.This is expected to be a close game, with Glentoran perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Glentoran as a small favourite), we find six games. Glentoran has won two of these, drawn one and lost three.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (22 in 10 games), Glentoran's attacking play is working. Glentoran's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Larne form and stats
5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of Larne playing as the away team in the Premiership this season.
Two travels in a row for Larne, whose manager Lynch could celebrate last time after the Premiership win against Carrick Rangers.
A 0-1 loss hosting Linfield before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Larne playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were five Larne wins, three draws and four defeats.
Larne are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 10 away games so far. Larne's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
