BetGenius backs Gretna 2008 or Draw (Double Chance) at 72% confidence — a solid call. Total goals: Over 2.5 Goals.
Gretna 2008 enter this Scottish Cup clash on solid footing, having avoided defeat in each of their last four matches across all competitions. That run includes high-scoring displays against Dalbeattie Star and Celtic II, alongside a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Johnstone Burgh in their most recent outing. With home advantage on their side, they have consistently found the back of the net in recent weeks.
Cumnock Juniors advanced to this round courtesy of a 2-0 win over Auchinleck Talbot, but their wider recent form reveals some inconsistency. They dropped points in their last outing in a 2-1 defeat to Renfrew and previously struggled on the road, suffering a 4-0 loss during an away fixture against Auchinleck Talbot in late September.
With Gretna maintaining attacking rhythm and Cumnock seeking greater solidity on the road, the hosts carry momentum into this tie. Backing Gretna 2008 to protect their home patch provides a balanced position in what could be a competitive knockout encounter.
