Largs Thistle

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.

Largs Thistle enter this cup tie in encouraging form, having won three and drawn one of their previous four matches. Gala Fairydean Rovers are winless in their last five fixtures, recording two draws and three defeats. Backing Largs Thistle to win or draw accounts for their superior recent form while respecting the competitive nature of cup ties.
