Match preview
Clachnacuddin host Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in the first round of the Scottish Cup, looking to turn around a challenging run of results. The home side enters the tie winless in their last five outings across all competitions, having recorded three draws and two defeats while conceding twelve goals during that stretch.
Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic arrive in Inverness with greater momentum, having secured three victories from their last four competitive fixtures. Their attack has been prolific, highlighted by a 6-1 win over Stirling University and a 3-0 triumph against Motherwell U21, although heavy defeats such as a 1-6 loss against Airdrie United show defensive vulnerabilities.
With Clachnacuddin struggling to convert draws into victories and Bonnyrigg showing superior offensive output in recent weeks, the visitors hold the upper hand in this cup encounter.
