Recent respective form guides
Elgin City need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While City have scored 8, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Arbroath is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Red Lichties have hit 4 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 15 matches. Arbroath lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Three, picking up 19 from their 15 games so far.
