This is a massive clash between two teams level on points and fighting for a top spot in the Premiership!

📊 THE TITLE RACE BATTLE

With both sides deadlocked on 10 points from six games, this clash shapes up as a true six-pointer — a result that could prove decisive in the battle to become a Premiership title challenger.

Both clubs have enjoyed strong starts to the season, and it’s unfortunate that one of them will have to drop points — a setback that could prove costly to their early title ambitions.

PREVIOUS MEETING

The clubs met in the league around a month ago with Barrhead proving that the will be a force to be reckoned with as they beat the more established Pollokshields 3-0

LAST SUNDAYS RESULTS

Barrhead’s Dominant Streak and Star Performance

Barrhead United is riding a wave of confidence, underlined by a stunning 9-1 demolition of Inter Inchinnan AFC. The floodgates opened wide for the Barrhead attack, showcasing lethal finishing and a spread of goalscorers:

• Mick Browne spearheaded the attack with a magnificent hat-trick (x3), earning him the well-deserved Man of the Match title.

Pollokshields’ Thunderous Cup Form

Pollokshields United enter this fixture proving they are no slouches, particularly in a cup setting, having recently decimated Lomond Thistle Colts with a commanding 7-1 victory in the Sunday Trophy. This result underlines the depth of their attacking talent, with an incredible six different players getting on the scoresheet.

The comprehensive win, dubbed a “Rout” by the press, saw Wright named Man of the Match, indicating a strong performance beyond just the goals and a determination to control the game.

TODAYS GAME

With Barrhead United keen to assert their dominance and keep their rivals firmly under heel, and Pollokshields United hungry for cold-blooded revenge after their previous league defeat, this fixture is bubbling with a palpable tension. This isn’t just a game; it’s an exciting match promising fireworks between two good teams.

HUGHS MATCH PREDICTION

I predict a much tighter contest this time, but Barrhead’s overall quality and ability to handle pressure will see them edge out a 2-1 win, leaving Pollokshields frustrated but having closed the performance gap.
