Glentoran v Larne: Irish Premiership up for grabs in live BBC Sport NI game at the Oval
It looked like Larne had one hand on the Gibson Cup when they opened up an 11-point lead at the top of the table, but their struggles in recent months have set up this exciting finale to the season.A notable stumble from Larne followed their Irish Cup win over Warrenpoint in January, with the side without a win in their next four matches. In more recent weeks, Coleraine's back-to-back wins against Gary Haveron's side - the first after extra time in the Irish Cup before a 4-1 thrashing at Inver Park four days later - have damaged their momentum. As for the Glens, they had a blip in form back in November with defeats to bottom of the table Glenavon and Dungannon Swifts before drawing with Bangor.A month later though they recovered with victories over Coleraine, Linfield and Portadown before hammering Carrick Rangers 7-0 in what has proved to be a crucial chunk of fixtures. They then were beaten by the Inver Reds but have lost just one of their next 14 Premiership games and will be hoping to extend this impressive run on Friday.
