Recent respective form guides

Elgin City's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While City have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Annan Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. The Black and Golds's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 13 goals for and 11 against.

Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 30 games have yielded only 22 points. Annan Ath. see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 36 points from their 30 games played so far,
