Elgin City prepare to entertain Montrose at Borough Briggs on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 8 of the 18 previous games, with the City winning just 6.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Borough Briggs was just last season, in February 2009, the City carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Elgin City's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While City have scored 6, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.
Montrose's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The Gable Endies's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 11 goals for and 9 against.
Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 22 points from 26 matches. Montrose find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 27 games have yielded only 19 points.

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
