Recent respective form guides

Elgin City's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While City have scored 6, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Berwick Rgrs.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Borderers's have scored 11 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 12.

Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 15 points from 16 matches. Berwick Rgrs. are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 30 points from 17 games.
