Edinburgh City form and stats

Edinburgh City has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. McDonaugh and the players.

In their previous game, the manager J. McDonaugh led his Edinburgh City to a defeat in the League Two match away at Cove Rangers. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Ainslie Park Stadium. A League Cup defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Albion Rovers.

The manager J. McDonaugh will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Stenhousemuir in only two days.
