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.
Stranraer's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the The Blues have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 15 points from 16 matches. Stranraer see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 16 points from their 16 games played so far,
