Kelty Hearts vs Elgin City Prediction & Betting Tips (7 September)

Kelty Hearts boast an impressive recent home record at the top table of the Challenge Cup, securing 14 victories in 17 attempts, one of which was a success against these opponents back this year. Speaking of Elgin City, they have struggled massively on the road of late, returning with zero points from 12 of their last 17 trips in the Challenge Cup.

Kelty Hearts may have scored at an incredible rate of 3.5 goals per game in the Challenge Cup so far this season, yet just two of their previous 15 contests have served up four goals or more. Given that Elgin City have been involved in 45 consecutive top-flight away matches containing under 3.5 goals, it is hard to see that changing even against such potent opponents.

Over the course of their last 17 away matches at the top table of the Challenge Cup, Elgin City have been involved in no fewer than 14 contests in which they have both scored and conceded. This suggests that an exciting encounter is on the cards, particularly as each of the previous seven Kelty Hearts home games at this level has followed the same pattern.
