Recent respective form guides

Montrose's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Gable Endies have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Elgin City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the City have hit 6 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Montrose see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 32 points from their 28 games played so far, Elgin City see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 30 points from their 25 games played so far,
