Recent respective form guides

Montrose's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Gable Endies have scored 5, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Elgin City's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 10 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Montrose are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 2 matches. Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 2 games have yielded only 0 points.
