Elgin City prepare to entertain Arbroath at Borough Briggs on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The City have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Borough Briggs was less than a year ago, in April 2006, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Scottish Division Three match.
