Stenhousemuir vs Elgin City tips and predictions

Elgin City to suffer League Two defeat

The home team has proven goal-scorers in their squad. They could be poised to continue in their rich vein of form. Don't be surprised when the floodgates open but the match winner odds look spot on.

It's anyone's guess what happens here. If you believe that this is a done deal it's worth isolating some of the data. This preview is nervously focussing on a home win but if they aren't in the right frame of mind then who knows. They are still the pick to come through.

Stenhousemuir have scored one or more times in all of their recent 20 matches and that mentality has been consolidated at the back where they've conceded no more than once in 2 of their last 3 games.

When tested away from home Elgin City have conceded two or more times in 8 of their last 12 matches. Their legitimate scoring chances are conspicuous by their absence too. The visitors have not been able to depend on their forwards in their latest engagements. They've scored one or less goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.

Stenhousemuir have won 5 of the last 12 fixtures between these sides previously. With regard to previous meetings the head-to-head stats are reasons for confidence in them.

It's not a confident forecast though. They may end up sharing the spoils. It's felt that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter.
