Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Elgin City & Kelty Hearts face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the League Cup.
Elgin City form and stats
Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the group stage.Elgin are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-6 away versus Dundee United. As you see from the result above, Elgin suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Dundee United (1-6).Elgin are traveling soon after this match as the League Cup match at East Fife awaits in four days.
With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Elgin City friendly games in pre-season: Elgin played two friendlies, won 1, drew 0 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Elgin City scored 3 goals and conceded 5 in these two games.
Kelty Hearts form and stats
Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the group stage.Hearts are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played 17 in a row without losing.
Hearts had fun at their own home (Borough Briggs) last time out, beating East Fife 3-0. A. Agyeman and N. Austin (2) scored.
A loss against Dundee United was the result prior to that, in a League Cup home game.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kelty Hearts manager K. Thomson as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Arbroath.
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Hearts have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeats from two fixtures.
