78%

Confidence

Stranraer bring a solid five-match unbeaten run into this tie, having registered three wins and two draws while netting fifteen goals across that sequence. While Tayport delivered an impressive 3-0 home win in the previous round, Stranraer's recent consistency and home advantage give them the edge to progress or at least avoid defeat over ninety minutes. Backing the home side to win or draw accounts for cup volatility while aligning with their strong run of results.
