The Opposition  

Ballymena arrive at Inver Park in 8th place, a point behind Glenavon, having drawn 1-1 at home to Glentoran last week. In the four previous meetings between the sides this year, all at the Showgrounds, Larne have won two, with Ballymena winning the other two.

The Inver Reds 

Larne come into this game aiming to bounce back from an indifferent run of results in the league. Tiernan Lynch’s side lost to Ballymena in the Irish Cup three weeks ago, and have since draw their subsequent league games. With a place in the top six secured, the Invermen are currently five points behind fourth-placed Crusaders.
