Elgin City prepare to entertain Forfar Athletic at Borough Briggs on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the two previous meetings, the City have won one and drawn one.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Borough Briggs was less than a year ago, in March 2008, with Elgin City running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

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 7, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.
Forfar Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Loons, and 6 goals against.
Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 10 games have yielded only 8 points. Forfar Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 13 from their 10 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 Loons come away with an easy victory. Away win
