In contrast, Coleraine's away form has seen them score an average of 2 goals per game but also concede an average of 1.67 goals per game.

Betting Analysis

Given Carrick Rangers' home advantage and past performance against Coleraine, a bet on the home team could be seen as good value. However, Coleraine's offensive record and the odds reflecting their slightly better league position make them favorites to win.

In the Over/Under 2.5 market, the odds are evenly split at 1.9 for both Over and Under 2.5 goals. Considering Coleraine's high average of total goals per game and their strong record of Over 2.5 goals in away matches, there's a compelling case for Over 2.5 goals.
