St. Cadoc’s will host Burntisland Shipyard FC on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026, in an SWF Scottish Cup match in Scotland.

The home team enters as a slight favorite. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-0 victory for St. Cadoc’s. Interstat’s ELO system gives St. Cadoc’s a 51 percent chance to win, signaling a narrow edge for the hosts rather than a comfortable mismatch.

Burntisland Shipyard, the visiting side, comes into this cup tie after a difficult result. In its most recent listed match, Burntisland Shipyard lost 6-2 to Stirling University FC on Monday, Sept. 29, 2025. That defeat means the Shipyard will be aiming for a tighter defensive display and a fresh start in knockout play.

St. Cadoc’s, by contrast, has no complete recent match result to examine. The last date attached to St. Cadoc’s in the available data is Wednesday, Dec. 31, 1969, and the entry does not list an opponent or a score. That appears to be a data placeholder rather than a true result. As a result, the Interstat projections stand as the clearest measure of the matchup.

The game is part of the SWF Scottish Cup, the national knockout tournament for women’s football in Scotland. In cup competition, a single result determines which team advances. The winner of Thursday’s match will move to the next round, while the loser will be eliminated.

The projected score line (Interstat) — St. Cadoc’s 1, Burntisland Shipyard FC 0 (Interstat) — points to a tight, low-scoring contest. St. Cadoc’s likely will lean on home support to produce the decisive goal. Burntisland Shipyard, despite its previous loss, may feel that one strong performance can overturn the models.

A 51 percent win probability is barely more than a coin toss. Few goals are expected, but cup matches in Scotland often turn on set pieces, a defensive lapse or a moment of individual skill. That leaves both teams with a realistic path to the next round.

For Burntisland Shipyard, the key will be returning to the defensive organization that was missing against Stirling University, which reached the scoreboard six times. For St. Cadoc’s, the challenge will be turning a narrow percentage advantage into a victory.
