It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Cove Rangers have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Cove Rangers have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 8 goals during that time. We shall soon see if that trend will be sustained here.
Heading into this contest, Cove Rangers are without a win at home for the past 3 league matches.
Since a loss in their previous game against Queen Of The South in League One action, Kelty Hearts and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
The only player to score from Kelty Hearts was Jacob MacIntyre (3'). Benjamin Luissint (28'), Jordan Allan (63') and Kai Kennedy (69') scored for Queen Of The South.
In the course of their six most recent matches, Thomas O'Ware's Kelty Hearts have found the back of the net a total of 5 times thus yielding them the goals scored per game average of 0.83.
Delving into their past head to head results stretching back to 11/11/2023 tells us that these encounters have been a source of anguish for Kelty Hearts. They have not managed to register any victories whatsoever whereas Cove Rangers have maintained the edge over them, running out winners in 67 per cent of those games where they have faced each other.
In all, 14 goals were produced between them in these games, with 11 of them from The Wee Rangers and 3 for The Jambos. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.33.
The previous league encounter between the two was League One match day 24 on 11/03/2025 which ended up with the score at Kelty Hearts 0-4 Cove Rangers.
The referee was Daniel Graves.
We’re of the opinion that Cove Rangers will more than likely create enough chances to score more than one against Kelty Hearts, who might well find it a difficult task to score themselves.
Therefore, we are anticipating a pretty comfortable 2-0 victory for Cove Rangers after 90 minutes.
