Stirling Albion journey to Borough Briggs on Friday for the League Two showdown with home side Elgin City. Elgin City will play in this match following on from a 0-0 Challenge Cup drawn match vs Clyde. After a tense 2-4 penalty shootout, Clyde were victorious.
It’s been all too rare in recent games where Elgin City haven’t conceded. The facts show that Elgin City have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals during that time.
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Stranraer in League Two action, Stirling Albion will be hoping to turn things around here. The only name on the scoresheet from Stirling Albion was Robert Thomson (15′). Dylan Forrest (31′), Sean McIntosh (41′) and Grant Gallagher (61′) scored for Stranraer.
Stirling Albion have attacked well of late, scoring 10 goals in their last 6 matches. While their manager Darren Young will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Stirling Albion have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same games. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.
