Recent respective form guides

Elgin City's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While City have scored 10, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Clyde's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Bully Wee have hit 6 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Elgin City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 35 points from their 28 games so far.

Clyde are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 31 points from 29 matches.
