Elgin City prepare to entertain Montrose at Borough Briggs on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 16 previous games, with the City winning just 5.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Borough Briggs was less than a year ago, in January 2008, the City carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Division Three match.

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 Gable Endies come away with an easy victory. Away win
