It's the second chance for points this season as Peterhead and Cove Rangers battle it out at Balmoor Stadium.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Cove Rangers 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 15-5-8 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.
