Another interesting game in the Football League. Spartans is in the 16th position after playing one matches. They welcome Edinburgh University who are placed 10th after two games.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

The Spartans fans got no joy from their last match, a Football League game also here at Ainslie Park Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against Rangers II (placed 2nd).
Heartbreak before that as Spartans lost 0-5 at Stranraer's place.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Spartans as they are travelling to their away game against Gala Fairydean Rovers in the Football League. That match is three days after this one.

A draw for Edinburgh before that, at their own venue hosting BSC Glasgow (2-2).A quick return to home after this game, as Edinburgh are hosting Bo'ness United in the Football League only three days away.
