History of the Peterhead v Elgin City fixture

Peterhead prepare to entertain Elgin City at Balmoor Stadium on Saturday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The fixture has produced 3 draws, with 4 wins being posted by Blue Toon.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Balmoor Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2003, as the Blue Toon squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Peterhead are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 8 to 7.

The away form of Elgin City is pretty dire, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the City have hit 10 goals, 16 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Peterhead are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 29 points from 17 games. Elgin City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 17 matches.
