Edinburgh City vs Montrose tips and predictions

Montrose hold all the aces against Edinburgh City

It's tenth placed Edinburgh City hosting fourth placed Montrose in this League One clash as the visitors look to add distance to the 42 points that separate the sides.

Montrose are heavily fancied to get the job done. The short price won't appeal to everyone but there is some value here.

A review of recent performances is not pleasant reading for the hosts. Edinburgh City are definitely worth opposing at the moment. They've lost 17 of their last 19 matches. To add to their concerns, goals are looking conspicuous by their absence. They've scored 0.6 goals on average over their last 12 games and that isn't anything like the required form for the challenge they face. They conceded three or more goals in 14 of their last 19 games. It's unlikely that they can plug those gaps in time for this huge task.

Montrose have posted some quality displays. Even if the visitors produce just 70% of their normal level it will probably be enough to get the win. They've scored three or more goals in 5 of their last 10 games and it looks like a matter of when, not if, they score in this one.

Despite the vehement favouritism for Montrose it will be fun if Edinburgh City can make a match of it. It might not be a popular opinion but the Yes BTTS bet is a hesitant side bet for this particular game.

Montrose have won all of the last 4 matches between these two.
