Larne vs Tre Fiori: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Larne has recently started to dominate domestically. After their debut championship in 2023, they reclaimed first place twice more, including last season. This summer, they began with a goalless draw against Stranraer in a friendly, followed by wins over Connah's Quay and Harland. Then, albeit on penalties, they defeated Glentoran in the Super Cup.
The team from Fiorentino last won the championship in 2020. Only this spring, overtaking Virtus by a single point (73 to 72), did they manage to return to the top spot. They had a chance for a "golden double," but lost the cup final to La Fiorita.
In San Marino, the visitors managed to score just before halftime. That proved enough, as they secured a narrow victory.
