Elgin City
LWWWLL
Elgin City will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-0 League Two loss in their previous game against 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

Peterhead go into this clash following a 1-0 League Two win with the eclipse of Spartans in their previous fixture.
The only player to score from Peterhead was Cammy Smith (19').

Team News: Elgin City
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Elgin City gaffer Allan Hale to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. 4 (Elgin City) won’t play.
🗞️
Team News: Peterhead
Out of a mainly full-strength squad, there is only the sole fitness issue for the Peterhead manager Jordon Brown to contend with. 1 (Peterhead) won’t be in action.
🔮
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.
