Elgin City are ready to welcome Stranraer to Borough Briggs on Saturday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. City lost the only previous game contested between the two teams.
The only previous meeting between Elgin City and Stranraer at was within the last three years, in September 2001, with Stranraer inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the City in a Scottish League Cup match.

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 9, a worringly large 19 have been leaked at the other end.
Stranraer's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Blues, and 6 goals against.
Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 14 matches. Stranraer are holding the final promotion place in the Bells Scottish Division Three, and have accumulated 26 points from the 13 games they have played so far.

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 Blues come away with an easy victory. Away win
