History of the Elgin City v Albion Rovers fixture

Elgin City prepare to entertain Albion Rovers at Borough Briggs on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 6 of the 14 previous games, with the City winning just 5.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Borough Briggs was less than a year ago, in March 2007, with Elgin City running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

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 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Albion Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Wee Rovers have hit 6 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 5 games have yielded only 0 points. Albion Rvs. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 7 from their 5 games so far.
