Bangor vs Larne Prediction & Betting Tips

Larne rolling, Bangor toiling

Larne's last 20 matches, spanning the Premiership and their various European ties, show 12 wins, four draws and just four defeats, with 31 goals scored against 19 conceded. That sample includes some big European nights, among them a 5-0 win over Crvena Zvezda and a couple of heavier European defeats, but their domestic form running through games with Portadown, Cliftonville, Glentoran and Bangor themselves has been strong.

Bangor: 20 completed matches; Larne: 20 completed matches.

Bangor's equivalent sample reads very differently. Three wins, six draws and eleven losses from 20 games, with 37 goals conceded against just 17 scored, points to a side that's been shipping goals regularly rather than settling into any rhythm.

Larne go into this with the far better recent record.

Comparative Team Statistics: Bangor vs Larne

Larne's hold over this fixture

Larne have won seven of the last eight meetings between these two, with the only draw coming in October 2025. That run includes wins in both home and away fixtures, most recently a 1-0 success in September this year.

Some of that history stretches back to 2022 and takes in friendlies and cup ties rather than pure league form, so it doesn't tell us everything about how either side plays now. Even so, the recent Premiership meetings follow the same pattern as the head-to-head as a whole.

A big gap in the table

Larne currently sit third with 16 points from six games, having won five and drawn one without losing. Bangor are down in 11th with just five points from eight matches after five defeats.

The two sides have played a different number of games at this stage, but the gap in points per game still points to a clear difference in current league form.

How much can change before kick-off

This fixture is still a month away from the form snapshot used here, so neither side's current run is locked in for matchday. Bangor have time to tighten up a leaky defence, and Larne's European commitments could yet affect squad freshness by late October.

Even so, the recent form, the head-to-head record and the table all point the same way for now.
