Struggling Edinburgh University will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying East Stirlingshire in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Edinburgh University and East Stirlingshire should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
This pitch has grass, which is not East Stirlingshire's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass East Stirlingshire have performed like this: Played 15 matches resulting in 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 27-27 (scored/conceded).
Edinburgh University form and stats
With 1 Football League win, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Edinburgh University are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Edinburgh University fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Vale of Leithen game long ago, can be stopped today.
The home team returns to East Peffermill after sharing the points with Vale of Leithen (placed 16th) on their last time out; the Football League game ended 1-1. Before that game, the home loss against Civil Service Strollers with the scoreline 0-3.
Edinburgh University have scored 8 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Edinburgh University having conceded 23 goals here at East Peffermill so far.
East Stirlingshire form and stats
East Stirlingshire have an excellent away record in the Football League so far with 6-1-1 from 8 games. East Stirlingshire has been amazing away for a time now, winning six in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic.
The manager D. Ure was unhappy after their last game, a Football League match played at their home ground Falkirk Community Stadium. East Stirlingshire suffered a 0-1 loss to BSC Glasgow (placed 3rd). Preceding that game was the away victory against Cumbernauld Colts with the score of 4-1.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 22 goals in 8 league games away this season. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
