Recent respective form guides

Brechin City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While City have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Arbroath's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Red Lichties have hit 7 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Brechin City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, picking up 8 points from their 6 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the City at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Red Lichties come away with an easy victory. Away win
