- SP Tre Fiori have lost their last two games, a 1-3 home defeat to Fiorita and a 0-1 away loss to Larne in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026.

Larne to extend winning streak
Larne are the form favourites heading into Tuesday's UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 second leg at Inver Park where the Northern Irish side will look to extend their two-match winning streak to three.
Gary Haveron's men have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches while SP Tre Fiori have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five, so the Invernians are the side with momentum. This Larne vs SP Tre Fiori preview suggests the home side have the edge again.
Larne have averaged 3.25 goals scored and 1.25 goals conceded in their home games this season, so they usually make it count when on their own patch.
SP Tre Fiori have been impressive away from home this term, averaging 2.00 goals scored and 0.00 conceded from three games. But Danilo Girolomoni's side have had a few slip-ups lately and Larne are in the ascendancy.
Contrast in styles
Larne play a high tempo, aggressive pressing 4-4-2 system that is very well-suited to their counter-attacking and fast counter-attacking play.
SP Tre Fiori have a more solid 3-4-1-2 that is more about a narrow, deep block and punishing mistakes on the break or from set pieces.
The contrast should suit Larne if they can make the game open and force the visitors into mistakes, while Tre Fiori will want to keep it tight and frustrate. Our Larne vs SP Tre Fiori prediction is that the hosts can impose their style.
Larne have the upper hand
Larne have been the better side so far in this tie, winning the away game 1-0 last week, so they take the upper hand into this game.
At odds of 1.2, the Northern Irish hosts are well supported by the market, with the draw at 5.8 also unlikely because they have been on the up and up recently.
Backing Larne to win seems the only sensible way to play this game in the moneyline markets and both sides' recent form and the head-to-head suggest we will see a home win. A Larne vs SP Tre Fiori prediction of a narrow home victory fits the trend.
Goals markets lively
Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 is also a bit short for a game featuring two teams, so we'll avoid that bet.
Both Teams to Score - No at 1.54 is a better option for the goals markets and a Larne win to nil is our correct score prediction, so we'll back that. The Larne vs SP Tre Fiori betting tips point towards a disciplined defensive display.
Matthew Lusty is the main threat for Larne and he has been in good form in front of goal with five strikes in his last five games for the Invernians, who have scored 11 goals in that same run.
