Brechin City form and stats

Three League Two home games done for Brechin City, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. It's trouble wherever Brechin are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Game days at Glebe Park have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Brechin as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Brechin lost their last game at Cowdenbeath (placed 8th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Stenhousemuir.

Brechin have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Brechin have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.

Annan Athletic form and stats

2 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Annan Athletic playing as the away team in the League Two this season. Recent form does not give Annan much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Brechin City will be a tough nut to crack.

Annan might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Queen's Park proved too strong as Annan Athletic slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Galabank. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Elgin City's place.

Annan Athletic has another fixture away, a Scottish Cup game, against Gala Fairydean Rovers in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Annan have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. It's not easy to score on Annan Athletic as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Brechin, three draws and three wins for Annan Athletic. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
