Match Preview

Match of the day in the Highland League takes place at Victoria Park, where league leaders Buckie Thistle take on current champions Brechin City.

These two sides met here in April in a final day title decider, with Brechin scoring twice in the last four minutes to grab victory and lift the Highland League trophy.

The only other league meeting between the teams at Victoria Park ended in a one-nil victory for the Jags in February 2022, courtesy of an early strike from Max Barry.

Buckie have rebounded well from suffering their first league defeat of the season at Banks o' Dee, scoring 13 goals in three matches against Tayport, Nairn County and Rothes.

Brechin bounced back themselves in midweek, coming from behind to beat Inverurie Locos thanks to a double from Grady McGrath.

Anthony McDonald is out long term for City, while some niggles from Wednesday night will be assessed before the game.

Jags will have the same squad who won at Rothes in midweek, defender Sam Morrison having returned from his loan spell at Clach to be amongst the substitutes at Mackessack Park.
