Elgin City form and stats

There's been little loot from Elgin City's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the League Two. Elgin City only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Elgin City are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Elgin's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Edinburgh City that finished 1-1.

Prior to that match, the Elgin City manager Price faced defeat when travelling to Stranraer and losing 0-1.

Elgin are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and two defeats. From a total of five matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Elgin as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. As for defending, Elgin City rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 12 goals from these away matches.
