- Larne: They have only lost once since October of last year.
Team Analysis
- RFS: Known as the "Blue-Whites," RFS managed to repeat their first major success last year by becoming the champions of Latvia. They currently have a good chance of retaining the title, extending their lead over all pursuers by mid-summer, including their neighbor, Riga. Jelgava-2 was even defeated with a unique score of 7-0. In 2022, they had a breakout year, reaching the group stage of the Conference League. However, last summer, after defeating Macedonia, they were knocked out by Sabah, losing both matches without any chance.
- Larne: The "Red-Whites" have existed for over 130 years but have peaked in recent years. In 2022, they became the champions of Northern Ireland for the first time in history. They retained the title, finishing first in the Premiership again in the spring. However, their best performance in Europe remains their debut in 2021, when they progressed past Bala Town and Aarhus, even defeating Paços de Ferreira at home, though a heavy defeat in Portugal decided their fate. In the 2022-2023 season, they had two draws and four losses against teams like St. Joseph's, HJK, and Ballkani.
