📏 Form Guide

Montrose

LWLLWW

Montrose will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-2 Challenge Cup success over Cove Rangers.

The only scorer from Montrose was Kane Hester (87').

It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Montrose haven’t conceded. The facts show that Montrose have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 9 goals along the way. Let’s see whether or not that trend can be sustained here.

A look at their previous results shows us that Montrose:

• have not lost a league tie with Edinburgh City in their last 3 matches.
• haven't beaten Edinburgh City in their last 4 league matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 3 league matches.

Edinburgh City

LLLLLL 🆘

Since being beaten in their last game against East Kilbride in Challenge Cup competition, Edinburgh City and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Nathan Flanagan (43') was the scorer for East Kilbride.

It is worth noting that Edinburgh City have suffered from a shortage of goals in their past 6 games, netting the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, The Citizens have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 15.

Looking at their past form shows that Edinburgh City:

• have not lost to Montrose in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
• have not won away from home in their last 2 league matches.
