Match of the Day
Bo’ness Athletic v Musselburgh Athletic
League Cup Second Round
Musselburgh Athletic last five games: WDLWW
FREE-SCORING Bo’ness Athletic present an interesting challenge for Musselburgh Athletic.
The West Lothian side sit in the bottom tier of the East of Scotland Football League but look certain to be crowned champions.
They have tasted defeat just once in the league this term and won 23 of their 25 games.
Along the way, they have scored 152 goals, which highlights the firepower Musselburgh will come up against.
Liam Burns and his side got back to winning ways with a midweek win over Hill of Beath Hawthorn.
Now, they will be aiming to start a winning run.
Haddington Athletic v Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale
League Cup Second Round
Haddington Athletic last five games: DLWWW
SCOTT Bonar and his side have familiar foes in the League Cup.
Fellow Premier Division side Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale sit seven points adrift of Haddington in the table.
The Hi Hi did the double over their rivals in the league, following up a 1-0 win in the Capital with a 5-1 triumph at Millfield in February.
However, the visitors return to East Lothian following wins over Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts, Broxburn Athletic and Penicuik Athletic.
Luncarty v Dunbar United
King Cup Third Round
Dunbar United: LLWLL
ONE win in five highlights Dunbar’s recent form after an impressive first half of the season.
The Seasiders remain top of the First Division but have seen their gap narrowed.
Now, they have a cup test against a Luncarty team also pushing for promotion to the top flight of the East of Scotland Football League (EoSFL).
Dunbar won at New Countess Park earlier in the season and the two sides are due to meet again in Perth and Kinross on league business next weekend.
Preston Athletic v Whitehill Welfare
East of Scotland Football League First Division
Preston Athletic last five games: LLLWW
JACK Lynch returns to the Pennypit as he brings an improving Whitehill Welfare east.
The Midlothian team have eased their relegation worries in recent weeks and now sit four points clear of the drop zone.
They have picked up points in three of their last four games, including against Glenrothes, who defeated 10-man Preston last weekend.
The Prestonpans side have lost their last three games but will surely take heart from their battling performance against title challengers Glenrothes.
Preston won 3-1 in Midlothian at the beginning of December.
Ormiston Primrose v Tweedmouth Rangers
East of Scotland Football League Second Division
Ormiston Primrose last five games: LLDDD
A CASE of déjà vu for Ormiston Primrose and Tweedmouth Rangers, who were due to meet last week.
That game fell victim to the weather but hopefully this afternoon’s contest gets the go ahead.
Ormiston still have hopes of avoiding relegation but need to start clawing back the gap to the teams above them.
Tweedmouth Rangers are enjoying a memorable season having struggled in previous campaigns.
The Berwick side won the reverse fixture in September but Ormiston will look at this as a game where they can take points.
