📏 Form Guide
Edinburgh City
LLLLLL 🆘
Edinburgh City will be wanting a better result here following the 2-0 League One defeat in their last game at the hands of Queen Of The South.
Gavin Reilly (65') and Paul McKay (86') scored for Queen Of The South.
It has not been often in recent times that Edinburgh City haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Edinburgh City have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 19 goals on the way. Even so, we must now wait to see whether that pattern might be maintained in this next match.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Edinburgh City:
- have left without a victory over Montrose in their previous 6 matches in the league.
- have not won at home in their last 7 matches in the league. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
Montrose
WWDLLD ⚖
In the game prior to this, Montrose drew 0-0 in the League One match with Alloa Athletic.
Montrose have been dangerous up front in their most recent fixtures, scoring 13 goals in their last 6 matches. While their manager Stewart Petrie will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Montrose have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same outings.
Going into this contest, Montrose are without a win away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.
👥 Head to head
Looking at their past head to head meetings dating back to 17/12/2022 shows that Edinburgh City have won 0 of them and Montrose 3, with the tally of draws standing at 3.
Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 28 overall which averages out at 4.67 goals per meeting.
The previous league game between the two was League One match day 24 on 10/02/2024 which finished with the scoreline of Montrose 3-0 Edinburgh City.
The match was refereed by Peter Stuart.
🗞️ Team News: Edinburgh City
The Edinburgh City boss Michael McIndoe has a full complement, with no fitness worries at all before this game owing to a completely injury-free squad available to choose from.
ℹ️ Team News: Montrose
Due to a mostly available squad, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Montrose boss Stewart Petrie to contend with. Alex Balfour (Ankle injury) won’t be playing here.
🧠 Prediction
In our view, Edinburgh City certainly have the ability to find the back of the net against this Montrose team, although just one goal probably won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We therefore reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 advantage for Montrose after the 90. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
