Draw

Buckie Thistle are yet to get off the mark in the League Cup and they are unlikely to do so even at home to Alloa. The League One outfit were able to demonstrate a remarkable resilience in the opener against East Fife. There will be more of the same when the two teams meet each other at the Victoria Park.

Total goals under 2.5

The two teams are likely to be very evenly matched for different reasons. Alloa might be pushing for a victory and they lack the offensive quality to pick of the defensive mistakes made by Buckie Thistle. At the same time, Buckie Thistle lack the quality up front to get goals in this game.

Both teams to score – yes

This match is likely to be a low scoring with the two teams struggling for a clean sweep in the final third. This match also represents a great opportunity for both teams to pick up points. For this reason, both outfits are likely to trade goals.
