Larne FC enters this match as clear favourites, reflected in the odds. Their superior league standing, currently topping the table with a significant goal difference, and a strong head-to-head record against Cliftonville point towards a home win. The Asian Handicap of -0.5 for Larne, with balanced odds, suggests a belief in their ability to win by at least a single goal. Examining the head-to-head data, Larne has consistently performed well against Cliftonville, further supporting this prediction. Cliftonville, despite their mid-table position, have demonstrated moments of competitiveness. However, their away form and defensive vulnerabilities, as evidenced by their goal difference and past encounters with Larne, make it difficult to foresee them securing a positive result. The over/under market, with a line of 2.25 goals, and the odds favouring the over, indicates an expectation of a match with multiple goals. Given Larne's attacking prowess and Cliftonville's defensive record, the likelihood of an over is high. Therefore, I predict a home win for Larne, with a scoreline that likely exceeds 2 goals overall.
