Recent respective form guides

Brechin City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The City have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The Rovers have managed to tuck away 10 goals in this period, and concede just the 2.

Brechin City are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 47 points from 29 games. Raith Rovers's total of 46 points from their 29 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Bells Scottish Division Two.
