Match Preview: Larne v Glentoran

Larne looking to continue fine form against Glentoran

Larne will be looking to continue their fine form when they host Glentoran in the Danske Bank Premiership on Saturday.

The Inver Reds have won their last three league games, scoring 10 goals in the process, and they will be confident of extending that run against a Glentoran side who have lost their last two matches.

Larne manager Tiernan Lynch is likely to make changes to the team that beat Dungannon Swifts last weekend, with Mark Randall and Matty Donnelly both pushing for starts.

Glentoran looking to bounce back from derby defeat

Glentoran will be looking to bounce back from their derby defeat to Linfield when they travel to Larne on Saturday.

The Glens were well beaten by their rivals last weekend and they will need to show a marked improvement if they are to get anything from the game against Larne.

Glentoran manager Mick McDermott is likely to make changes to the team that started against Linfield, with Conor McMenamin and Hrvoje Plum both in contention for recalls.

Key battle: Larne's attack v Glentoran's defence

The key battle in this game is likely to be between Larne's attack and Glentoran's defence.

Larne have scored 10 goals in their last three league games, while Glentoran have conceded seven in their last two.

If Larne can continue their scoring form, they will be confident of beating Glentoran. However, if Glentoran can tighten up their defence, they will be in with a chance of getting something from the game.
