Larne vs Newry City Prediction & Betting Tips (26 January)

Not only are Larne unbeaten in 17 home matches at the top table of the NIFL Premiership, but they have also emerged victorious from 12 of these contests, so confidence should be high heading into this encounter. The same cannot be said for Newry City on their travels, however, as they have lost four times in their last six games, as well as collecting ten points out of 25.

Having been involved in 19 consecutive home games containing over 2.5 goals in the NIFL Premiership, it would be fair to say that Larne have been the epitome of consistency on this particular front. Not only that, but the deadlock has also been broken in 17 of the most recent 19 second-tier fixtures involving Newry City, so a goalless draw in this contest seems unlikely.

Both teams have found the net in just four of the most recent 17 Larne home fixtures at the top table of the NIFL Premiership, whilst they have drawn a blank themselves in five of their last six NIFL Premiership games overall. As for Newry City, they have either kept a clean sheet or failed to score in five of their previous six away encounters at this elite level of the domestic game.
