Huntly form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Huntly so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Huntly seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Football League home defeat versus Deveronvale with 2-3 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Nairn County wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

The opposition has been scoring high and low on Huntly's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 21 goals in 7 travels.
