Bonnyton Thistle

Clachnacuddin have seen four of their last five matches produce three or more goals, highlighted by heavy activity at both ends of the pitch. Their previous two away fixtures saw them concede nine goals combined in a 5-1 loss to Clyde and a 4-0 loss to Banks O' Dee, while they also scored four goals away at Wick Academy. Bonnyton Thistle scored twice in their 2-0 victory over East Stirlingshire, pointing toward a fixture likely to clear the 2.5-goal threshold.

Both teams have displayed notable defensive vulnerabilities in their recent recorded matches. East Stirlingshire have conceded 10 goals across their last four fixtures, with three of their past five matches surpassing the 2.5 goal mark. Bonnyton Thistle have also been involved in several high-scoring cup ties, conceding multiple goals in heavy defeats to Beith and Clydebank while also producing a 2-1 result against Girvan. Given these defensive trends, this knockout clash has a reasonable probability of seeing three or more goals.
