Glentoran and Cliftonville will meet in Saturday's European play-off final after both secured home semi-final victories.
The Glens eased through with a 5-0 win over Glenavon at the Oval while the Reds held off a spirited Coleraine fightback to win 2-1 at Solitude.
Luke McCullough, Conor McMenamin, Jay Donnelly and Rory Donnelly were on target for the Glens, with Robbie Garrett scoring an own goal.
Saturday's decider will be at the Oval.
The Reds looked comfortable at 2-0 up after Ronan Doherty added to Ryan Curran's early opener before Matthew Shevlin's goal 17 minutes from time put them under pressure.
Shevlin missed a good chance to equalise for the Bannsiders with a free header at the back post late on as the Reds held on to reach the final.
The winner of Saturday's play-off final will secure the Irish Premiership's final spot in the Europa Conference League.
