Struggling Stenhousemuir will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Edinburgh City in the upcoming league round. It’s 8th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Edinburgh City play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artificial turf. Recent stats for Edinburgh City when playing on artificial turf are 5 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from 13 matches. They have scored 16 goals and conceded 26 times in these games.
Stenhousemuir form and stats
With 2 League Two wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Stenhousemuir, who have the most conceded goals (22) at home in League Two, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
A good away victory last time out for Stenhousemuir, who won 3-2 against Elgin City (placed 6th). Before that, Stenhousemuir drew at home versus Brechin City.

Edinburgh City form and stats
