Ginaro Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Thought I'd see how the fixtures were looking terms of team rankings from: http://scotscores.theroonba.com/clubrank/clubrank.html Some clear home/away favourites but other matches are too close to call so I've listed them as draw. I think the calculation for assigning points after each match takes into account home advantage, so for the close games the prediction should slightly favour the home side. Be interesting to see how accurate this is and if there's any upsets.

vikingTON Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Don't see why Annan are not clear favourites at home to a team a couple of levels below them, ditto Cowden at home. It would be a fairly major upset for this stage of the competition if either lost. Edited October 22, 2021 by vikingTON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both OF B teams have an inflated status in the rankings as it includes SPFL Challenge Cup performances. Cowdenbeath haven't exactly helped themselves with only the one league win so far. Jeanfield have had some decent cup results that keeps them a threat while having a middling league season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Jeanfield will have a large away support tomorrow with 5 club run buses leaving from Perth. Having seen both teams this season i would expect Annan to win but the Swifts have saved their best form for the Scottish cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauftimedraw Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 We are due to get our revenge on Jeanfield having lost 2-1 to them.... In 1948. Crowd that day was 4600, would be surprised to see a tenth of that tomorrow! [emoji16] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of levels below doesn't mean as much for League Two v non-league compared to further up the pyramid, as tier 6 EOS/WOS is mostly on a par with tier 5. We've seen that two seasons ago with Cowdenbeath losing to Broxburn in a replay and Stenhousemuir losing to Penicuik. Annan lost to Formartine last season though as you say playing at home will make them favourites. 13 hours ago, tamthebam said: You've not seen Edinburgh City this season?

You will get over 500 tomorrow, id expect around 300 to 400 away fans. I do know a lot of Saints fans were not expecting any away allocation at Celtic Park so decided weeks ago to go to this game, partly on the basis Saints have not played Annan in a competitive game since you joined the league and want to tick off a new ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be as well saying that the Juniors were Championship standard because took a hilarious swording by Auchinleck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
