Larne last time out had a disappointing 0-0 draw away to tenth-place Dungannon. A win is needed here to stay in touch with those at the top of the table.

Carrick’s two-game winning run ended last Friday with a narrow 1-2 defeat against Linfield which is no shame and shows that they’ve improved in recent weeks and will come into this game confident of getting a result.
Victory here would see them leapfrog Loughgall at least for a day but there is already a gap building between the top and bottom six in the league.

Glenavon enter this game on a four-game losing run in what has been a difficult season for the club. Their seven points accumulated in twelve matches means they occupy second last in the division and are only one clear of bottom-place Ballymena.
The last time these teams faced off Glentoran could only muster a 0-1 win so they will fancy their chances of going close again to earning at least a point.

That's following a run where they even beat Larne 1-0 they fluttered with the top of the table too. However, they’re winless in their last three games and most recently were uncharacteristically battered 6-0 against Glentoran.

Newry are in ninth two places and five points below their opponents having earned four points in their last five games. Their thirty-two goals conceded mean they have the joint-worst defence in the league and their thirteen goals scored mean they have the third-worst attack.
Newry will be looking to capitalise on a Loughgall side who could be low in confidence though and that might just even the playing field a little.

Their -14 Goal Difference while isn’t an idea is only bettered by Loughgall in the bottom six which suggests they aren’t the push-overs their table position would suggest.
Coleraine have nine points in their last five league games including two wins on the bounce to establish a five-point gap between themselves and Loughgall directly below them in sixth place.
Victory for Coleraine in this one could raise them up to fourth in the table and still on course for a competitive season again after finishing sixth last season.
