Rothes - Huntly prediction 7 October 2026

The Rothes vs Huntly prediction for October 7, 2026, sees Huntly as the clear favorite with a 65% win probability in this Highland League clash at 20:00. Based on recent form and a dominant head-to-head record, the visitors are expected to secure all three points.

Team Form

Rothes are in dire form, losing four of their last five matches. Their last five results read L, L, L, L, W. The most recent outings include a 4-1 defeat at Turriff United on Sep 26 and a humiliating 8-0 home loss to Brora Rangers on Sep 19. The only bright spot was a 3-2 home win against Wick Academy back on Aug 22.

Huntly's form is mixed but notably stronger: D, L, W, L, D. They drew 2-2 at home with Inverurie Loco Works on Sep 19 and lost 2-1 at Turriff United on Sep 16. However, an impressive 3-0 away win at Buckie Thistle on Sep 12 shows their potential. While not perfect, their performances are far more consistent than Rothes'.

Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record heavily favors Huntly. In their last two meetings, Huntly have won both. On Apr 4, 2026, Huntly beat Rothes 3-1 at home. Earlier, on Nov 1, 2025, Huntly won 5-2 away at Rothes. Rothes have yet to register a win or even a draw against Huntly in these recent encounters, with an aggregate score of 8-3 in Huntly's favor.

League Table Positions

While exact league table positions are not provided in the data, the form and results strongly suggest Huntly are the superior side. Rothes' heavy defeats, including an 8-0 and a 7-1 loss, indicate they are likely struggling near the bottom. Huntly's ability to win away at Buckie Thistle and compete with top sides points to a mid-to-upper table standing.

Win Probability: Rothes or Huntly?

Rothes has a 20% chance of winning, the draw is at 15%, and Huntly has a 65% chance. This calculation is based on the available form and head-to-head data, as no odds were provided to serve as a base. Huntly's two consecutive H2H wins, including a 5-2 away victory, combined with Rothes' catastrophic defensive record (conceding 25 goals in their last five matches), make an away win highly probable. Home advantage offers little comfort for Rothes given their recent 8-0 home defeat.

Odds & Match Prediction

No bookmaker odds are available for this fixture. Based on the stats, Huntly are the clear favorites to win. Rothes' leaky defense and Huntly's proven goal-scoring ability in this fixture suggest an away victory is the most likely outcome. A bet on Huntly to win would be the logical choice for betting tips, though the lack of odds means value cannot be assessed.
