The new season is on for Edinburgh City and Patrick Thistle, the two meeting in the first round of the League Cup in Group B. Edinburgh, who fell short in the League One playoffs, will play host to the Championship side, and we have a prediction below.
Queen of the South, Ross County, and Stranraer are the other teams in this group.
The hosts were 3-1 losers on aggregate to East Fife in the playoffs. They would then register a 3-2 win against Falkirk in their last friendly outing before heading into the season.
The 3-0 loss to East Fife in the return leg of their League One playoff left Edinburgh with just one win in five matches. In the five matches, Edinburgh failed to score three times.
The only past meeting between Patrick Thistle and Edinburgh City was two years ago. That didn’t end too well for Edinburgh, who suffered a 6-0 defeat in their League Cup meeting.
Patrick Thistle will be eyeing a similar performance but aren’t coming off a very strong position. They were beaten 4-0 on aggregate in the Premiership playoff semi-finals by Livingston.
The Jags posted back-to-back wins in the preseason friendly matches ahead of this encounter and will hope to carry on in the same way. They lost three of the last seven competitive matches.

Our Edinburgh City FC vs Partick Thistle FC Prediction
Last year these teams met in a corresponding fixture, and Patrick Thistle were dominant, blanking Edinburgh City 6-0. For the hosts, this is an opportunity to avenge the heavy defeat. However, they come into this match in poor shape after their loss in the League One playoff semi-final.
Patrick Thistle also got dumped out of the Championship playoffs but come here on a much stronger footing. In Patrick Thistle’s four wins in seven away matches, they kept clean sheets. Our prediction for Edinburgh City v Patrick Thistle is for Patrick Thistle to win with a clean sheet.
