Brora Rangers, by contrast, have taken 10 wins from their last 20 with only five defeats, and they've scored 51 while conceding 27. A few of those losses came in cup fixtures against sides from higher up the pyramid, like Aberdeen and Queen of the South, so their league form specifically has been even better than the overall figures suggest.

Brora's tougher losses came against bigger clubs, not Highland League rivals, which makes their day-to-day form look even stronger.

Brora have won every recent meeting

Across the 11 head-to-head matches on record, Brora Rangers have won the lot. Some were tight, like a 1-0 and a 3-0, but plenty have been one-sided, including a 7-2 and a 6-2.

Most strikingly, these two played each other in the league just days before the as-of date here, and Rothes lost 0-8 at home. That's about as clear a recent marker as you'll find between two sides.

An unbroken run of wins for Brora across all recorded meetings, capped by a very recent heavy scoreline in the same fixture.

A cup tie, but not much sign of an upset brewing

This is a one-off Scottish FA Cup match, and knockout football can throw up surprises regardless of recent form. That's always worth remembering with any single fixture.

Even so, everything here points the same way. Rothes' poor season, Brora's healthier numbers, and an unbroken head-to-head record all sit on the same side of the ledger.
