Irish Premiership Preview: Larne v Linfield

Larne aiming to end Linfield's unbeaten run

Larne will be looking to end Linfield's unbeaten run when the two teams meet in the Irish Premiership on Saturday. The Inver Reds are currently second in the table, two points behind leaders Linfield, and a win would see them close the gap at the top.

Larne have been in good form in recent weeks, winning their last three matches in all competitions. They will be confident of causing Linfield problems, especially at home where they have a strong record.

Linfield looking to extend their lead at the top

Linfield will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table with a win against Larne. The Blues have been in impressive form this season, winning 10 of their 12 matches.

Linfield have a number of key players in their squad, including Christy Manzinga, Shayne Lavery, and Kirk Millar. They will be confident of getting a result against Larne, even though they will be playing away from home.

What to expect from the match

The match is expected to be a close and competitive affair. Both teams are in good form and will be looking to win. Larne will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage, while Linfield will be confident of their ability to win away from home.

The match is likely to be decided by the key battles in midfield. If Larne can win the midfield battle, they will be in a good position to get a result. However, if Linfield can control the midfield, they will be confident of creating chances and scoring goals.

Prediction

This is a difficult match to predict. Both teams are in good form and will be looking to win. However, I think Linfield will just edge it. They have a number of key players in their squad and they have been in impressive form this season.

My prediction: Linfield to win 2-1.
