The visiting Buckie Thistle side should be favourites in this visit to Strathspey Thistle, as the away team holds a 23 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.
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!
Strathspey Thistle form and stats
Strathspey Thistle have collected 10 points from their Football League home games so far after 3-1-2. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Strathspey Thistle with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Huntly game, 79 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Strathspey Thistle, their manager G. Nicolson and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
In their previous game, the manager G. Nicolson led his Strathspey Thistle to a defeat in the Football League match away at Clachnacuddin. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Seafield Park. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-7 away at Keith.
