FootyMAD East Stirlingshire match preview

History of the Elgin City v East Stirlingshire fixture

Elgin prepare to entertain East Stirlingshire at Borough Briggs on Saturday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 4 of the previous 6 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Borough Briggs was less than a year ago, in April 2003, with Elgin running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Elgin City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The City's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

The away form of East Stirling is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the Shire have hit 7 goals, 19 have hit the back of the wrong net.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Elgin at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the City will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Elgin	Drawn last 2 games at home. Failed to win in previous 2 home matches. Not won in the 3 most recent games.
East Stirling	Lost each of the previous 7 away matches. Not won in previous 7 away matches. An overall losing run of 4 games. No win in the 16 most recent games.
