Recent respective form guides
Montrose's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Gable Endies have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Elgin City's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The City's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 12 goals for and 10 against.
Montrose are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 33 matches. Elgin City's total of 49 points from their 33 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Bells Scottish Division Three.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Gable Endies at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the City come away with an easy victory. Away win

| Montrose | Been beaten in each of their previous 2 home matches. Failed to win in previous 2 home matches. Not won in the 5 most recent games. |
