Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Wee Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Elgin City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the City have hit 6 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 17 points from their 15 games played so far, Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 15 games have yielded only 8 points.
