Albion Rovers have had a tougher run of it. Across twenty matches they've won eight, drawn two and lost ten, shipping 35 goals against 29 scored. There have been some big scorelines in there too, both good and bad, which points to a side capable of streaky form rather than steady consistency.

Pollok look the tidier of the two on recent evidence, but Albion Rovers have shown they can put goals together when things click.

Clean sheets look hard to come by

Neither side has kept things especially quiet recently. Pollok's games have swung from 0-0 and 3-0 to 2-2 and 1-4, while Albion Rovers have been involved in scorelines like 5-0, 4-1, 3-4 and 4-0. That's a lot of goals flying around on both sides of this tie.

With both teams showing they can concede as freely as they score, a low-scoring, cagey affair doesn't feel like the obvious script here. It's the kind of pattern that can make a cup tie unpredictable rather than one-way traffic.
