Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.

It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.

Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

After careful analysis of Elgin City and Partick Thistle, we predict that the match will go over 2.5 goals. This means the two teams are likely to score 3 or more goals combined.

The two attacks have been playing quite well of late, which is why we feel this is the best bet for this upcoming match.
