Prediction
Edinburgh City have enough quality to make this a testing match for Partick Thistle, but the visitors are expected to have too much quality in this Scottish League Cup fixture. Partick Thistle have won the Scottish League Cup once before, in 1971-92, and will look to make a deep run in the competition this season.
As of June 26, 2026, Partick Thistle are preparing for the new season, looking to build on their strong finish in the Championship. Their last result was a 1-0 loss to ST Mirren on May 25, 2026. With a strong squad and new signings, Partick Thistle are poised to make a strong run in the League Cup and the Championship.
