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 9, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
East Stirling's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the The Shire have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 8 points. East Stirling lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 24 from their 15 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the City at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Shire come away with an easy victory. Away win
