Annan Athletic form and stats
Annan Athletic's results here at Galabank in the League Two have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts. With seven home League Two games in a row without a win, the Annan fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Stranraer game long ago, can be stopped today.
Annan faced defeat in their previous match, away at Queen's Park (0-1). Ahead of that match, Annan lost 1-2 at home to Stirling Albion.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Annan Athletic, as the League Two home game vs Stenhousemuir is only three days away.

The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Brechin City, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Albion Rovers game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
