Cove Rangers vs. Peterhead Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Cove Rangers and Peterhead, taking place on Saturday, 07 March 2026, at Balmoral Stadium in Cove Bay.
Cove Rangers, Recent Form
Cove Rangers will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Stenhousemuir who sit 6 places above them in the table.
Manager Paul Hartley will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 13 games this season.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. Their performance in the league at Balmoral Stadium this season has been disappoinitng to date, winning just 2 of 13 league games.
Goalscorer Mitch Megginson will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cove Rangers.
Peterhead, Recent Form
Peterhead will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Queen of the South.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 22 of their 25 games overall.
Peterhead will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Kieran Shanks will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Peterhead's last 6 league games.
Cove Rangers vs. Peterhead Head to head
Peterhead will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Cove Rangers, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-4 defeat.
Cove will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Blue Toon, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 9 meetings between the two. We have seen plenty of goals from The Toonsers when they play at home against Peterhead. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
Lewis O'Donnell has scored in each of Cove's last 2 league games against Peterhead.
