① Formartine United enjoy home advantage and sit a touch higher in the U18 standings, giving them the edge.

② Deveronvale's compact defensive setup and quick counters keep them in touch, with several players capable of unlocking a young defense.

③ Recent head-to-heads in this age group have produced goals, so a 2-1 win for Formartine seems plausible despite a cautious approach from both sides.
