Elgin City prepare to entertain Arbroath at Borough Briggs on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 3 times from 7 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Borough Briggs was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 3-5 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
