Match preview

Nairn County enter this Scottish Cup first-round clash carrying positive momentum after putting together a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions. Their recent fixtures have shown an increasing offensive output, highlighted by a 3-1 away victory over Buckie Thistle and a 2-0 home win against Wick Academy, alongside high-scoring draws such as their 2-2 result with Banks O' Dee.

Gretna 2008 arrive having found their scoring touch in emphatic fashion, winning their last two fixtures by scorelines of 5-1 against Dalbeattie Star and 3-1 over Celtic II. That attacking surge followed a run of high-scoring 3-2 defeats against Cumbernauld Colts, Pollok, and Largs Thistle, pointing to a side that consistently creates chances while also conceding regularly.

With Gretna 2008 finding the net at least twice in each of their last five outings and Nairn County consistently scoring multiple goals in recent weeks, this cup tie sets up as an open and attack-minded contest.

Both must land · no better than

Over 2.5 Goals — 75% confidence

Gretna 2008 have seen all five of their previous matches surpass the 3.5 goal mark, scoring 14 goals and conceding 11 in that span. Nairn County have also shown attacking potency with five goals across their last two games, making a match total of three or more goals highly probable.

BTTS Yes — 72% confidence

Gretna 2008 have scored at least two goals in five consecutive fixtures while failing to keep a clean sheet in any of them. Nairn County have scored in four straight games, suggesting both attacks possess the form required to get on the scoresheet.

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.
