Edinburgh University hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 4 points and a 16th position in the Football League table. Visiting Spartans holds 11th place with 9 pts.
Edinburgh University and Spartans 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 is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
