Larne FC will be aiming to snatch second place from Glentoran on the final matchday of the regular season when the two sides clash at The BetMcLean Oval on Tuesday night.
Despite dictating possession and carving out several promising chances, Glentoran were unable to break down Carrick Rangers’ disciplined defensive unit, ultimately settling for a point in a lifeless goalless affair, which leaves them in second place with a staggering 20-point gap behind the league leaders.
NIFL Premiership reigning champions Larne FC have fallen well short this season, and it seems almost certain they will be dethroned after a two-year reign, as they trail the elusive league leaders Linfield by a whopping 23 points with a game in hand, but they will still aim to lock in a runner-up spot.
Glentoran vs Larne FC Betting Tips : X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)
Heading into the final matchday of the regular NIFL Premiership season with a three-point cushion, Glentoran will aim to hold onto their slim advantage in second place, but we have doubts about their ability to achieve that. The form of the East Belfast club offers little cause for celebration, with their narrow 1-0 victory earlier in March against Ballymena standing as their only bright spot in the last seven competitive matches, and they now find themselves winless in their last three outings (D2 L1). One thing that has raised concerns for coach Declan Devine and his squad is the noticeable dip in offensive strength, as the Glens have failed to score in half of their last six matches across all formats, with only one instance where they managed to net more than twice in this goal-drought stretch. Larne FC, on the other hand, have steered their NIFL Premiership campaign back on course after enduring a tough spell, picking up just one point from a possible 15 between February 8th and 22nd across five divisional fixtures, while Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Coleraine extended their unbeaten streak to three matches (W2 D1). Although their title challenge has faltered this season, Larne will look to enter the play-off round in the runners-up position with a midweek win, taking confidence from their perfect H2H record against Glentoran, having triumphed in nine straight matchups in all competitions, including both this season.

Glentoran team news
Josh Kelly is the victim of an ACL injury, which means he is out for the rest of the current season, but he is currently the only omission for Glentoran.
Coach Declan Devine is not happy with his team's performance in recent times, so there could be some changes to the starting line-up.
