Belfast — Fife: 6:0, Challenge Cup

Belfast saw off Fife 6-0 in the Call Cup on Sunday, maintaining their perfect start to the campaign. The hosts sit top of the table after three games, all victories, while Fife drop to second with two wins and one defeat.

The prediction of a home win, backed at 81 per cent confidence, proved accurate. The gulf in quality showed through from the outset, with Belfast's attack finding space against a Fife side that struggled to contain the pressure.

Recent form suggests the result was no surprise. Belfast have scored 21 goals in their last five matches, including an 8-1 victory over Dundee on Saturday. Fife, meanwhile, have been involved in higher-scoring affairs, with their 4-3 win over Glasgow on Friday being the only clean-sheet performance in their last five games.

The result extends Belfast's win streak and leaves them three points clear of second-placed Fife. For the visitors, the defeat ends what had been an unbeaten run of two victories in their opening three matches. The Call Cup standings now reflect a clear hierarchy after the opening round.
