Newly promoted League Two side East Kilbride will start off the 2025/26 competitive season in the League Cup, in Group F. Their opening match will be at home to St. Johnstone, and below we have a prediction.
After finishing top of the Lowland League and successfully negotiating past the playoffs, confidence is high at East Kilbride. Competitively now, they are unbeaten in six matches, winning three.
The hosts are also coming from two unbeaten outings in friendly matches, the most recent a 2-2 draw with Morton. This clash marks the first head-to-head meeting between the two sides, and Kilbride carry a three-match winning run at home into it.
St. Johnstone had a mixed season last term. While they went all the way to the Scottish Cup semi-finals, they couldn’t hold on to their Premiership spot. The Saints finished at the bottom of the table in the regular season and had a poor run in the playoffs.
This bad run followed them right into preseason, as they failed to win in their two friendly matches. The most recent of them was a 1-0 loss to Falkirk. When it comes to competitive action, the Saints have six defeats in seven matches.
In those losses, St. Johnstone conceded two or more goals in five. Simo Valakari’s side has suffered defeats in four straight games on the road.
