Edinburgh City form and stats

2 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Edinburgh City have to build on here at Ainslie Park Stadium in the League Two.

The Edinburgh supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Bo'ness United in Scottish Cup and win 2-1. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of G. Naysmith when J. Robertson scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute.

Ahead of that match, Edinburgh lost 2-3 at home to Kelty Hearts.

The Edinburgh fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 8 goals in 5 league matches. 6 goals have been conceded.

Albion Rovers form and stats

The manager B. Reid is not happy with the away performances in the League Two so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. A depressing four defeats in a row for Albion Rovers in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Elgin City.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against Brora Rangers in their previous game.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Brora Rangers.

Albion Rovers have another game that requires travelling in just four sleeps, a League Two match versus Stenhousemuir. A strenuous itinerary for the guests!

Goals are few and far between in Albion's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. The Albion manager B. Reid has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
