General match analysis
Larne have not been particularly clinical lately, scoring just 3 goals in their previous five matches, yet they still managed to collect 5 points from a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Bangor are in a far worse run of form, having lost all of their last 5 fixtures, scoring 2 goals and conceding as many as 16. Away from home, the visitors have lost 100% of their matches, failed to score a single goal and conceded an average of 2 goals per game. Larne also have attacking issues, but Bangor’s defense, which has conceded 9 goals in three league matches, should give the hosts their best opportunity to end their scoring drought. Home advantage and the visitors’ significantly weaker form point towards a Larne win, although the hosts’ limited goal output increases the risk of a draw.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal points to BTTS - No, as neither team has scored a goal in the current season data, while the rate of matches featuring goals from both sides stands at 0% for each team. In their last 5 matches, Larne averaged 0.6 goals, while Bangor managed just 0.4, with only 20% of matches ending in BTTS - Yes for both sides. Bangor have lost their last five matches and conceded 16 goals in the process, but their attack generated just 0.78 xG per match, limiting their chances of exploiting Larne’s defensive weaknesses. Larne have the higher recent xG, at 1.23 compared with the opponent’s 0.78, making a one-sided home win more likely than a Bangor goal. Additionally, the league-average BTTS rate is only 33%, reinforcing the prediction that at least one team will fail to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Both teams have produced very limited attacking output in their last five matches: Larne average 0.6 goals, while Bangor manage just 0.4. At the same time, Bangor concede as many as 3.2 goals per game, which clearly boosts the projection for the hosts. However, Larne have averaged only 1.23 xG, making a high-scoring game difficult to expect. The visitors’ xG across their last five appearances stands at just 0.78, and both teams have recorded matches with goals scored by both sides in only 20% of those fixtures. Even with Bangor’s defensive weakness, a result around 2 total goals is more likely than four, making Under 3.5 goals the safest pick.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Larne win at full-time, as the hosts were level at the break in 100% of their last five matches, scoring and conceding no goals before half-time. Bangor, meanwhile, were trailing at half-time in each of their last five games, conceding an average of 1.6 goals and scoring just 0.2 during this phase. After the break, Larne score an average of 0.6 goals, while Bangor allow their opponents 1.6, supporting a shift in the hosts’ advantage towards the full-time result. The overall form also clearly favors Larne: the hosts averaged 1.0 point per match across their last five games, whereas Bangor lost all five and conceded an average of 3.2 goals.
