Brechin City are welcoming Annan Athletic for another important game after their 0-0 result against Cowdenbeath.

Insights:
  • Brechin City have the most conceded goals (41) in League Two

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Annan Athletic have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-6-20 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.
