Larne will keep pushing to replicate their success from last season, having reached the group stages of this competition, but will have to navigate past Santa Clara in the third qualifying round of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League. This first-leg match to be played at a different venue, Ballymena Showgrounds, on Thursday comes with our prediction of the home team avoiding defeat.
The winner of this two-legged tie will proceed to the playoff round, where they face either Ballkani or Shamrock Rovers. For the loser, it is the end of their participation in Europe for this season.
Larne needed penalties to defeat Prishtina in the second qualifying round of this competition, after drawing both legs, 0-0 at home and 1-1 on the road.
These results extended their unbeaten run to 19 matches (W8, D11), including friendlies, and the home team could be angling for another surprise result here to extend that sequence.
Santa Clara had an eventful progression too, defeating Varazdin 3-2 on aggregate in the previous round. That was fashioned by a 2-0 home win after losing 2-1 on the road in the first leg.
Away form could be a concern for Santa Clara, as they couldn’t win four of their last five trips in all competitions (W1, D2, L2).
