Stirling University

Elgin City have built a solid run of form, losing only once in their last five fixtures and winning both of their recent away games against Forfar Athletic and Peterhead. Stirling University have struggled for consistency, dropping four of their past five matches while shipping 12 goals in that stretch. Backing Elgin City on the double chance provides strong security against the possibility of a drawn cup tie over 90 minutes while respecting their superior current form.

Forres Mechanics are in solid form with three consecutive victories, scoring six goals and conceding just once during that span. In contrast, Stirling University have lost four of their last five matches and have conceded nine goals across their previous two away fixtures. Backing Forres Mechanics to either win or draw covers the most likely outcomes in this cup tie, while Stirling University's open defensive record also points toward a match with multiple goals.
