Shamrock can triumph in the North

LOI Premier Division outfit Shamrock Rovers head to NIFL Premiership outfit Larne in the Conference League on Thursday.

Shamrock come into the game after back-to-back wins and clean sheets, while Larne are going through a rough patch with two defeats and a draw in their last three games.

Larne offered very little in a 3-0 defeat to Molde in their CL opener but with home advantage they should fare a little better here, although an away win still looks the best bet.

The Hoops are unbeaten in three on their travels and they’ve been generally strong on their travels domestically as with 25 points from 17 away games they have the second best road record in the Premier Division.

Larne have been in mixed form at home with two wins, two defeats and a draw, and their home advantage is lessened here as the game will be played at Windsor Park rather than Inver Park.

Shamrock are the team with the momentum and they can claim a key win on Thursday. A 1-0 win for the visitors is the correct score pick due to Larne’s struggles for goals, while Rovers have a fairly modest scoring record and three of their last four wins have come by one-goal margins.
