Dunipace

Largs Thistle have demonstrated dependable organization away from home, winning two and drawing one of their last three road matches while conceding just one goal in that run. Their 1-0 away victory over Gala Fairydean Rovers in the previous round stands in stark contrast to Dunipace, who were beaten 5-1 on their own pitch by the same opposition just two weeks later. Dunipace have shown defensive vulnerability by conceding three or more goals in three of their last five games, giving Largs Thistle a solid opportunity to avoid defeat and progress.

Dunipace have seen over 2.5 goals in four of their last five matches, conceding a total of 12 goals across that stretch without recording a clean sheet. Preston Athletic have also consistently been involved in high-scoring affairs, conceding three goals in each of their last three recorded games while scoring five goals of their own across that sequence. These shared defensive frailties indicate a high probability of exceeding the 2.5 goal line.
