History of the Montrose v Elgin City fixture

Elgin City face a trip to Montrose at Links Park Ground on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 8 out of 12 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Montrose's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Gable Endies have scored 5, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Elgin City's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 10 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Montrose are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 2 matches. Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 2 games have yielded only 0 points.
