Clyde have won four of their past five matches, showing consistent attacking output with 16 goals scored across that span. While a 6-2 defeat at Elgin City highlights defensive vulnerabilities on the road, they also posted a convincing 3-1 away victory at Cowdenbeath. Penicuik Athletic progressed with a 3-1 win over Kilwinning Rangers, but Clyde's greater volume of recent positive results gives them the upper hand. Taking the away side or the draw accounts for cup volatility while backing the team in superior winning form.

Match preview
