Pollok's last five matches have each produced at least four total goals, featuring scorelines of 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, 2-2, and 1-3. Threave Rovers also demonstrated their offensive output and defensive generosity in a 3-2 victory against Invergordon. Given that both teams are averaging multiple goals scored and conceded, surpassing the 2.5 goal mark is well supported by the available data.

Match preview
Threave Rovers welcome Pollok for a Scottish Cup Round of 128 tie with both clubs having displayed significant attacking intent in their opening cup encounters. The hosts secured their place at this stage with an entertaining 3-2 home victory over Invergordon, proving dangerous going forward while demonstrating clear defensive frailties.
Pollok arrive in strong momentum after recording three consecutive victories. Their recent run includes a 3-1 away win against Largs Thistle as well as 4-1 and 5-1 victories over Albion Rovers, showcasing an attack operating with high efficiency throughout recent weeks.
With both sides consistently involved in open, high-scoring games and neither maintaining clean defensive records, this tie has the makings of a lively cup encounter where chances should be frequent at both ends.

- All five of Pollok's last five matches have seen both teams score and finished with four or more total goals.

Pollok have both scored and conceded in every single one of their last five fixtures, scoring 15 goals while allowing eight across that sequence. Threave Rovers also failed to keep a clean sheet in their recent 3-2 cup win over Invergordon, indicating that both attacks hold the upper hand against vulnerable opposing defences.
These two calls are about different parts of the match (total goals and both teams to score), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
Pollok enter this match on a four-game unbeaten run, winning each of their last three fixtures by comfortable margins against Largs Thistle and Albion Rovers. Threave Rovers possess home advantage following their narrow 3-2 win against Invergordon, but Pollok's recent scoring rhythm makes backing them to avoid defeat a solid proposition.
