History of the Elgin City v Berwick Rangers fixture

Elgin City prepare to entertain Berwick Rangers at Borough Briggs on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 1 times from 5 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Borough Briggs was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Elgin City's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While City have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Berwick Rgrs.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Borderers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 12 goals for and 10 against.

Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 35 games have yielded only 23 points. Berwick Rgrs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 37 points from 35 matches.

Its been a distinctly poor show from Elgin City 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
