The overall stats in the Football League - Lowland League are 6-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Excelsior Stadium.
A nice win for Celtic II last time playing, versus Edinburgh University. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-0. As mentioned above, Celtic II "killed" Edinburgh University in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Before that, Celtic had a home game versus Bo'ness United which ended with a victory 2-1.Scoring bonanza? We don't know what will happen in this one, but we do know that 10 of the 11 most recent league games with this club has had three goals or more.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Celtic II as they are travelling to their away game against Cowdenbeath in the Football League - Lowland League. That match is four days after this one.

Berwick Rangers form and stats

Berwick Rangers had fun at their own home (Excelsior Stadium) last time out, beating Dalbeattie Star 4-0. That win felt nice as this club had gone three league matches without winning. As mentioned above, Berwick was the only team on the pitch versus Dalbeattie Star in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against East Kilbride wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.Take note that 8 of this club's 10 latest league matches have ended with at least three goals.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Edinburgh University in just four days.
