Struggling Gala Fairydean Rovers will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying BSC Glasgow in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

BSC Glasgow could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Football League game only three sleeps ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting BSC Glasgow have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-0-2 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.
