Johnstone Burgh welcome Greenock Juniors to Keanie Park on Saturday in the Scottish Communities Cup, with both sides coming into the tie on strong unbeaten runs.

Although this is the first-ever competitive meeting between the two clubs, recent form suggests a tight and competitive cup tie is in store.

Johnstone Burgh – Five Wins on the Spin

Burgh are in excellent scoring form, winning all five of their recent matches:

4–3 v Camelon

4–0 v Threave Rovers

0–2 v Girvan

4–0 v Arniston Rangers

2–3 v Arthurlie

The Keanie Park side have been ruthless in front of goal, hitting 17 goals in five outings and showing resilience in tight matches.

Greenock Juniors – Unbeaten and Hard to Break Down

Greenock have also gone five games without defeat, conceding just three goals in that run:

1–2 v East Stirlingshire

0–1 v Largs Thistle

1–3 v Larkhall Thistle

0–1 v Cumbernauld United

1–1 v Whitehill Welfare

Their away results show they can grind out wins in tight matches, though they’ve been involved in low-scoring encounters compared to Burgh.

What to Expect

With no previous head-to-head meetings, both clubs will be looking to make a statement in this competition. Johnstone Burgh carry the momentum in attack, while Greenock Juniors’ discipline and recent run suggest they won’t be easy to dispossess or break down.

A place in the next round is up for grabs – and both sides arrive full of confidence.
