Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Montrose boss Stewart Petrie to contend with from a near full-strength group. Craig Wighton (Knee injury) is sidelined.
💭 Prediction
We believe that Cove Rangers and Montrose could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.
Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw is looking likely to us. We’re therefore tipping a close game with a 1-1 draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
