Recent respective form guides

Berwick Rangers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Borderers have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Brechin City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the The City, and 7 goals against.

Berwick Rgrs. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 19 games have yielded only 11 points. Brechin City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, picking up 23 from their 19 games so far.
