Caledonian Braves host Fraserburgh in the Scottish FA Cup. Both sides have been scoring goals freely in their own leagues this season.
These two have only met once before, back in 2023, when Fraserburgh won away in a cup tie. That was a while ago though, and it doesn't tell us a great deal about how either side lines up now.

Form: goals going in at both ends

Fraserburgh's numbers in the Highland League read a touch tighter: 11 wins, 4 draws and just 5 losses from 20 games, with 42 scored and 31 conceded. They've also had some wild cup scorelines lately, including a 7-0 win and a 5-0 defeat in the Challenge Cup.
On the numbers, Fraserburgh look the more consistent of the two, though they're coming from a different league so it isn't a like-for-like comparison.
History: just the one meeting
These sides have faced each other only once in the available record, a cup tie back in September 2023 which Fraserburgh won 2-1 away from home.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FA Cup | Caledonian Braves | Fraserburgh | 23.09.2023 | 1-2 |
One match from three years ago doesn't carry much weight for what's coming up, but it's the only head-to-head context we've got.
A cup tie between two different leagues
This is a Lowland League side against a Highland League side in the Scottish FA Cup, so there's always a bit of the unknown when teams from different regional set-ups meet.
Both have shown they can score goals in bunches, Caledonian Braves at home and away, Fraserburgh in some high-scoring cup outings of their own. That suggests goals aren't unlikely, though non-league cup football has a habit of throwing up surprises.
With no market on offer for this one, there isn't a price to measure against what we've seen from either side.
Both teams look capable of scoring goals, and Fraserburgh's numbers edge it slightly on paper, but that alone isn't enough to build a confident pick without knowing the terms available.
