Preview

Match preview

Lochee United host Inverurie Loco Works in the first round of the Scottish Cup, with both clubs entering this knockout encounter on the back of active scoring runs across recent matches.

Lochee United have demonstrated reliable attacking output by scoring in each of their last five fixtures, which included high-scoring results such as a 5-0 victory at Bo'ness United and a 3-2 win against Gala Fairydean Rovers. However, defensive lapses have also been frequent, with the side managing only one clean sheet across that five-game span.

Inverurie Loco Works arrive in confident form, remaining unbeaten over their last five matches with three wins and two draws. Their recent fixtures have featured plenty of open play, headlined by a wild 5-4 away victory over Deveronvale and a 2-2 draw at Huntly. With both sides consistently finding the net while displaying defensive vulnerabilities, an open cup tie is on the cards.
