Clachnacuddin

Clachnacuddin have seen four of their last five matches produce three or more goals, highlighted by heavy activity at both ends of the pitch. Their previous two away fixtures saw them concede nine goals combined in a 5-1 loss to Clyde and a 4-0 loss to Banks O' Dee, while they also scored four goals away at Wick Academy. Bonnyton Thistle scored twice in their 2-0 victory over East Stirlingshire, pointing toward a fixture likely to clear the 2.5-goal threshold.

Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic have won three of their last four matches and displayed sharp finishing, scoring twelve goals across their past five games. In contrast, Clachnacuddin have failed to win any of their previous five fixtures, drawing three and losing two while conceding twelve times. Backing the visitors to avoid defeat provides strong coverage given their superior recent form, alongside expectations of a high-scoring cup fixture based on both teams combined defensive records.
