Elgin City face a trip to East Stirlingshire at Firs Park on Saturday afternoon, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 8 of the 16 previous games, with the hosts winning just 6.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
East Stirlingshire's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Shire have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Elgin City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. City have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
East Stirling are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 4 points from 7 matches. Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 7 games have yielded only 4 points.
