Brechin City form and stats

Brechin City's results here at Glebe Park in the League Two have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Brechin who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Albion Rovers, 160 days ago. Brechin are slowly digging their own grave here at Glebe Park with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Edinburgh City match.

Brechin City drew their last game, also a home match. Stenhousemuir (placed 6th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Preceding that match was the home game against Elgin City that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Brechin City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Brechin City as a small favourite), we find five games. Brechin has won one of these, drawn one and lost three.

Brechin are traveling soon after this match as the League Two match at Edinburgh City awaits in three days.

Brechin have scored 4 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. As for conceded goals, Brechin's unpleasant statistic is 19 goals surrendered.
