Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Edinburgh University & East Stirlingshire face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Lowland League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting East Stirlingshire have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-9-11 (win-draw-loss) from 27 matches.
Not much time to rest for the home side, as they were involved in a East of Scotland Qualifying Cup fixture only four days back. Thankfully the previous game, versus Sauchie Juniors, was also a home game here at East Peffermill. The away team is better rested.
