Ratho’s Rise in Form

Ratho Athletic has been on an impressive run lately, building momentum with an unbeaten streak over the last four games in regulation time. Confidence is running high in the camp, especially after a well-earned clean sheet in their previous outing. The team showed grit and resilience in the first round by defeating Linlithgow Rose 2-0 away, a performance that has surely boosted morale. Defensively solid and finding ways to secure results, Ratho is primed to keep their run going and make a deep push in the cup.

Mill AFC’s Dominance

Mill AFC, however, presents a formidable challenge. They’re tearing through the LEAFA Championship with a flawless record, winning all seven of their league games so far. Their route to this cup round was straightforward thanks to a bye, meaning they’ll be fresh and ready to give it their all on Saturday. Mill has proven themselves a consistent and high-scoring side, and they’ll be looking to bring that firepower against Ratho.

A Clash of Formidable Foes

This matchup features two in-form teams. Ratho’s solid defense will be put to the test against Mill’s potent attack, setting the stage for an intriguing tactical battle. Playing at home could be an advantage for Ratho, but Mill’s relentless winning streak makes them a challenging opponent to halt.
