Season ticket holders at Raydale Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Gretna 2008 languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Edusport Academy will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Gretna 2008 and Edusport Academy 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.
