Larne vs Glentoran: match statistics
Larne displays impressive home form with 77% wins and just 23% draws, remaining undefeated at home this season. The hosts boast a phenomenal home defense, conceding an average of only 0.23 goals per match and keeping a clean sheet in 77% of fixtures. Glentoran, despite solid away form (69% wins), concedes an average of 0.92 goals per away match, which poses a serious challenge against such an effective Larne defense. Both teams have an identical average of scored goals (1.92), but Larne's possession advantage (57% vs 50%) and higher average xG (1.82 vs 1.58) tip the scales in the hosts' favor. Given Larne's streak of five consecutive home wins and their unbeaten run at their own stadium, we expect a home victory, though Glentoran's quality means a draw cannot be ruled out.
