This match features two teams living in the basement of the Football League, Lossiemouth holding 16th place and Strathspey Thistle lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Lossiemouth form and stats
Lossiemouth's results here at Grant Park in the Football League have been very modest with 3 victories, 1 draw and 8 defeats. Lossiemouth has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.
The fans are hoping that Lossiemouth will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-7 away loss in the Football League game against Inverurie Loco Works (placed 2nd). Preceding that match was a defeat to Brora Rangers (0-8).
Lossiemouth were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Lossiemouth here at Grant Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 12 games). Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Lossiemouth have allowed the opposition to score 30 goals here at Grant Park.

Nicolson is not happy with the away performances in the Football League so far, as all 7 matches have been lost. A depressing seven defeats in a row for Strathspey Thistle in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Buckie Thistle.
