Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Wee Rovers have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Elgin City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the City have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 11 points from their 13 games played so far, Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 8 points from 14 matches.
