Elgin City
LWWWLL
Elgin City will be hoping to bounce back here after the 2-0 League Two defeat in their last game at the hands of Edinburgh City.
Malek Zaid (34') and Innes Lawson (65') scored for Edinburgh City.
Fewer than three goals per game were recorded in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Elgin City have taken part. With regard to the goal distribution from this period, opposition teams scored a total of 7 and Elgin City got themselves 5. That sort of pattern might not follow through here, though.
Peterhead
DWWDWW 📈
Peterhead go into this game after a 1-0 League Two win to beat Spartans in their previous match.
The only scorer from Peterhead was Cammy Smith (19').

Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Elgin City will have to perform well to hit the back of the net against this Peterhead lineup who we think might get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
We’re therefore tipping a very even match with a 0-1 winning margin for Peterhead at the end of this game.
Hoping for a good game.
