Elgin City prepare to entertain Stirling Albion at Borough Briggs on Saturday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the City winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Borough Briggs was less than a year ago, in May 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Elgin City's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While City have scored 7, a worringly large 19 have been leaked at the other end.
Stirling Alb.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Binos's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 8 against.
Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 16 matches. Stirling Alb. are leading the way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, with their 16 games giving them a return of 38 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 Binos come away with an easy victory. Away win
