Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Edinburgh City & Stenhousemuir face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Livingston, was also a home game here at Ainslie Park Stadium. The away team is better rested.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Stenhousemuir have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-10-13 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.
