Gretna 2008 vs Cumnock Juniors Prediction

Two very different form lines

Cumnock Juniors have won seven of their last thirteen matches, drawn two and lost four, scoring thirty-two goals and conceding twenty-two. There have been big swings either way, including a 6-1 romp away at Dalbeattie Star and a 2-0 FA Cup win over Auchinleck Talbot just a few weeks back, but also a heavy 4-0 league defeat to that same Auchinleck side in between.

Gretna 2008's record across their last twenty matches reads a lot tougher: five wins, two draws and thirteen losses, with fifty-nine goals conceded against just thirty-four scored. Their last few results have been better though, with cup wins away at Nairn County and Dalbeattie Star plus a home win over Celtic II lifting things a little before this tie.

Gretna's overall numbers are poor, but they've found a bit of form right when it matters.

Comparative Team Statistics: Gretna 2008 vs Cumnock Juniors

Goals have followed both sides

Neither team has been involved in many tight, low-scoring games recently. Cumnock's matches have regularly produced goals at both ends, while Gretna's defence has leaked goals all season even during their better spells.

That mix points towards this being an open, end-to-end cup tie rather than a cagey one, though cup football can throw up surprises regardless of recent form.
