Match preview
Keith enter the first round of the Scottish Cup aiming to rebound from a challenging stretch of form. The hosts have suffered three consecutive defeats against Brora Rangers, Strathspey Thistle, and Banks O' Dee, conceding a total of 12 goals across those three outings.
Despite their recent defensive difficulties, Keith have shown scoring capability on their home ground, having recorded victories over Deveronvale and Buckie Thistle earlier in September. Their recent matches have consistently been open affairs, with four of their last five games producing at least four total goals.
With Stonehaven visiting for this single-leg knockout tie, Keith's high-event style and porous defensive record over the past month point toward a match featuring plenty of scoring opportunities.
