Edinburgh City form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Edinburgh City have to build on here at Ainslie Park Stadium in the League Two.
Edinburgh enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Stranraer's place. The match ended 1-0 with L. Brown scoring. Before that, Edinburgh City drew at home versus Annan Athletic.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Queen's Park are coming to town in four days.

Brechin City form and stats
There's been little loot from Brechin City's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 7 away games in the League Two. Brechin City, who have the most conceded goals (36) in League Two, only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. Brechin City are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Albion Rovers fixture. Bitter travels for Brechin as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Albion Rovers match.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League Two home defeat versus Albion Rovers with 2-4 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Stenhousemuir.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Brechin City, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Brechin as the away team, we found six results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, zero draws and six defeats. The outsiders lost four of these games by at least two goals.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Annan Athletic.
Goals are few and far between in Brechin's away league games. Only 3 goals from 7 travels. Brechin's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
