Kelty Hearts

Edinburgh City enter this tie winless in their last five matches, failing to score in four of those games and managing just a single goal overall. Kelty Hearts have displayed superior sharpness in the final third, finding the net in each of their last five outings and picking up three wins against Forfar Athletic, Spartans, and Montrose. Although Edinburgh City won the previous head-to-head meeting in September, their subsequent attacking slump makes Kelty Hearts strong candidates to at least avoid defeat over ninety minutes.
