Recent respective form guides

Elgin City's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While City have scored 6, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Montrose's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Gable Endies's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 15 points from 16 matches. Montrose find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 17 games have yielded only 6 points.
