Preview

Match preview

Renfrew host Broxburn Athletic in the first round of the Scottish Cup, bringing together two sides whose recent outings have been defined by high-tempo, open football. Renfrew enter this cup tie after a narrow 3-2 defeat away to Johnstone Burgh, a match that continued their trend of participating in lively, end-to-end encounters.

Broxburn Athletic travel with momentum after securing a 2-1 away victory over East Stirlingshire. The visitors have won three of their last five fixtures in all competitions, finding the net regularly on their travels with identical 2-1 wins at Bo'ness United and East Stirlingshire, alongside a 2-2 draw at Dunipace.

With both clubs regularly finding the back of the net while struggling to keep clean sheets against competitive opposition, this cup fixture presents an inviting setup for an entertaining and open encounter.
