We said: Motherwell 4-0 Edinburgh City

 Although Edinburgh manager McIndoe did as well as could have been expected last season, it would be a surprise to see his side earn a win against Motherwell. Additionally, the home side should be strong favourites in Saturday's clash given their status as a top-flight team, in contrast to the visitors, who will begin the 2024-25 season in Scotland's League Two.
