Head-to-Head
The price for the hosts looks about right given that they have won 2 of the last 3 home H2H meetings , but we're going for Both Teams To Score at 1.57 and Over 2.5 Goals at 1.63 as the main selection for this one.
Kelty Hearts
- This is a clash of styles with Tam O'Ware's 4-3-3 Kelty Hearts side featuring pace out wide and a fast break, while Wullie Gibson's Annan Athletic are more compact and built around pressing cycles and high work rate.
- Hearts sit 7th in League Two 2026/2027 with six points from five matches, compared to Annan's six-point haul from the same five games in 6th.
- The Jambos have lost three of their last five matches and come into this one off the back of successive defeats so the form line is patchy.
-
Recent results:
- They were beaten 4-2 in the Challenge Cup 2026/2027 by Clydebank on home soil in their last game.
- Prior to that they were also defeated 2-0 in their away game against Stranraer in League Two 2026/2027.
Annan Athletic
- Annan Athletic have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five, so their momentum is better, although their away record is 1-1-0.
- Annan Athletic have scored just once in their two away games in League Two 2026/2027.
Key Players
- Lewis Moore has been Kelty's leading scorer in League Two 2026/2027 with two goals in four games and the winger remains the most likely goal threat for the Jambos.
- Charlie Maxwell has been Annan Athletic's most reliable source of goals in the league with two in five appearances, but he's also bagged two of the Black & Golds last five goals.
Prediction
We fancy the favourites to come away with all three points here, but they have wobbled recently and Annan's compact shape and work rate should keep this close and scrappy.
