An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 8th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Stenhousemuir's home stadium. The visitors last 33 games on grass have ended in 9 wins, 11 draws and 13 losses.
Brechin City form and stats
With 1 League Two win, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Brechin City, who have the most conceded goals (31) in League Two, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Brechin City with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Stirling Albion game, 56 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Brechin City lost their last game at Cove Rangers (placed 1st) after a 0-3 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-5 away at Annan Athletic.
The Brechin City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Brechin City with 13 goals conceded in these matches.
Stenhousemuir form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Stenhousemuir so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-2 (win-draw-lose). It's a growing despair in Stenhousemuir as they have recorded three consecutive losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Stenhousemuir are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The manager D. Irons was unhappy after their last game, a Challenge Cup match played at their home ground Glebe Park. Stenhousemuir suffered a 1-4 loss to Partick Thistle. A 1-2 defeat away at Albion Rovers before that.
After this away game Stenhousemuir return home for a League Two game against Elgin City. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Stenhousemuir when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Stenhousemuir have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
