East Stirling face a trip to Elgin City at Borough Briggs on Saturday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having managed to conjure up just 1 wins from the previous 6 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2003, with Elgin running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Elgin City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The City's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

The away form of East Stirling is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the Shire have hit 7 goals, 19 have hit the back of the wrong net.
