The model favours a home win, with Larne expected to edge Coleraine 49% to 22% for an away win and 29% for a draw. The average goal output is 2.3, centring on a 2-goal total that carries a 28% chance. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1, with a 13.7% probability. Larne’s home form shows a solid defence, conceding only 0.43 goals per game against similarly ranked opponents, while their attack averages 1.29 goals. Coleraine, on the road, has a more prolific offence, scoring 1.62 goals per game, but also concedes 1.15. The model’s selection for the match is Under 3.5 goals, with a 79.1% probability. The final result, 1-4, will be a surprise, but the preview reflects the statistical expectation.
Results analysis
The pre-match favourite, Larne, fell short as Coleraine FC seized the day, turning a 1-4 scoreline into a decisive away win. Larne’s recent form - three losses and two draws - had left them struggling, while Coleraine’s two-game winning streak gave them momentum. The model had predicted a home win with a 49% probability, but the call was wrong. The model’s selection for Under 3.5 goals, at 79.1%, missed, as the match produced four goals. The most likely scoreline of 1-1, with a 13.7% chance, was also off. Overall, the prediction missed both the outcome and the goal count.
