Recent respective form guides

Elgin City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While City have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Cowdenbeath's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 20 matches. Cowdenbeath's 29 points from 20 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
