History of the Albion Rovers v Elgin City fixture

Albion Rvs. prepare to entertain Elgin City at Cliftonhill Stadium on Saturday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Wee Rovers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Cliftonhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2004, with Elgin City inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Wee Rovers in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Wee Rovers have scored 9, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Elgin City's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the City have hit 4 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Albion Rvs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 15 matches. Elgin City see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 19 points from their 14 games played so far,
