Preview

Match preview

Pollok host Albion Rovers in the first round of the Scottish Cup, meeting just seven days after their previous encounter at the same venue. That recent clash saw Pollok produce an emphatic 5-1 victory, establishing clear momentum and confidence ahead of this knockout tie.

Both sides have been involved in consistently open and high-scoring fixtures. Pollok have demonstrated significant attacking sharpness by scoring 13 goals across their last five matches, though they have also conceded in every one of those games. Albion Rovers have found defensive stability hard to come by, conceding in five consecutive matches while managing only one victory in that span.

With both teams displaying regular output in attack alongside vulnerabilities at the back, this cup tie is positioned to feature plenty of goalmouth action and opportunities on both sides.

Albion Rovers have suffered three defeats in their last five matches, giving Pollok the clear advantage on home soil while protecting against a potential draw.

Over 2.5 Goals — 76% confidence

Pollok have seen all five of their last five matches produce three or more goals, with total match scores of 5-1, 2-2, 1-3, 3-2, and 2-1.
