Big Match

The Hills Solicitors Colleges Conference continues this weekend with third-placed Westhill United AFC hosting River Nevis, a fixture with clear importance for both sides at this stage of the season.

Westhill United AFC come into the fixture with the stronger numbers. Wins over Bearsden AFC, LS Memorial, and Cathcart AFC have lifted them to third in the table, with seven wins from nine matches.

A Tale of Two Meetings

The numbers point toward the hosts, but the recent head-to-head keeps this one priced closer than the table alone would suggest. The sides have traded results across their two meetings this season:

  • 13 August 2025 — Westhill United AFC ran out 8–3 winners in the League Cup.
  • 25 October 2025 — River Nevis responded with a 3–1 win in the reverse league fixture.

The Form Guide

River Nevis sit fifth going into the weekend, with results that have varied across recent fixtures. A win over Cambuslang FA was followed by defeat against league leaders Remo FC.

With six wins from 12 matches, the visitors have played more fixtures than those above them and need points to keep pace with the top four.

Westhill United AFC, meanwhile, hold the stronger win percentage and remain the side favoured on the numbers heading into the weekend.

Big Game Players

The Verdict: The numbers continue to favour Westhill United AFC, particularly given their win rate and games in hand on those around them. River Nevis have already shown this season they can turn this fixture their way, which keeps the margin tight rather than clear-cut.

Westhill remain the side to price up, but recent meetings suggest this is unlikely to be settled early.

Prediction: Westhill United AFC to edge it.
Scoreline: Westhill United 3–2 River Nevis
