Larne vs Coleraine: match statistics
Larne boasts impressive home form with a 73% win rate and conceding in just 18% of matches on average at home, making them a formidable opponent at their own stadium. The hosts lead the table and remain unbeaten in their last five home fixtures, maintaining clean sheets in 82% of games. Coleraine, despite sitting second in the league with a solid offense, demonstrates weaker away form with a 33% loss rate and an average of 0.92 goals conceded per game. The visitors' recent matches reflect inconsistent form, evidenced by a record of two defeats in their last five outings.
