vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Rothes and Brora Rangers meet in the knockout phase of the Highland League, with no league table to draw on. Rothes come into this match on a difficult run, with four defeats in their last five outings: their last match ended 0-5 at home to Banks O' Dee, before a 0-5 defeat away at Buckie Thistle; before that they had beaten Wick Academy 3-2, following a 2-4 defeat to Formartine United and, further back, another 0-3 defeat away at Deveronvale. Brora Rangers have had a markedly better run, with four wins in their last five matches: their last match ended in a 2-1 win away at Huntly, before a 3-1 home win over Turriff United; before that they had drawn 0-0 at home with Inverurie Loco Works, after beating Strathspey Thistle 2-1 away and Banks O' Dee 4-2 at home. In their head-to-head meetings, Brora Rangers have won all of the last five, including a 5-1 away win at Rothes last February. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
