Edinburgh City vs Kelty Hearts Predictions

• Kelty Hearts have lost five of their last six League Cup games
• Edinburgh City have won three of the last four meetings between these two sides
• The visitors lost nine of their 18 league trips last term

Edinburgh City search for opening win

Having sat out the weekend’s League Cup action, Edinburgh City kick off their 2023/24 campaign on Wednesday night hoping to take all three points when they meet League One rivals Kelty Hearts. These two sides are in Group D in the first round of the League Cup, with the visitors kicking off with a heavy loss.

Kelty Hearts were thumped 3-1 by Greenock Morton in their opening game and that’s put them in a tricky position in this competition. This looks to be another tough campaign in the League Cup for the visitors, who have lost five of their last six games in the tournament.

Another defeat for the Maroon Machine

Kelty Hearts are outsiders for this one and the Maroon Machine don’t look all that convincing following their third-bottom finish in the third-tier last term. The visitors won just three of their 18 away trips, suffering nine defeats. When you add in that they won just one of their four fixtures in preseason, there’s little case for backing them here.

Edinburgh City have won three of the last four meetings between these two sides, while they warmed up for their League Cup opener with a friendly victory. Back them to continue their good record against Kelty Hearts, while the visitors are set for another cup defeat.
