Recent respective form guides

East Stirlingshire's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Shire have conceded a disappointing 14 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Elgin City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The City's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 13 goals for and 12 against.
