This is a vital duel in the cellar of the League Two, with both Stenhousemuir and Elgin City going through more angst than bliss. This game is a typical "six-pointer" with the home side at 10th and the visitors in 8th position.
- Stenhousemuir have the the worst goal difference (-6) in League Two
- Elgin City have yet to win a game away.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Elgin City have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-4-3 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
