It's early days in the League Two and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

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.

Albion Rovers form and stats

Only one draw at home so far for Albion Rovers. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 3 draws and 12 defeats from 18 matches.

Albion Rovers has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 1 home game.

Brechin City form and stats

The visitors' first away game ended a defeat. Last season Brechin City had these away match statistics: Played 18; won 4, drew 3 and lost 11. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Brechin City, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Stranraer game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Bitter travels for Brechin City as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Stranraer.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League Two home defeat versus Queen's Park with 0-3 on the scoreboard. A 4-5 loss hosting Elgin City before that.

Brechin City has the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip at the early stages of this season.

Head 2 Head

Albion Rovers-Brechin City H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Albion Rovers 6 wins, Brechin City 4 wins, 0 draws. 5 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
