Both sides managed home victories, last season – with both Gretna 2008 and Edinburgh University winning 3-1.

This could possibly be seen as the most important match for both teams, up until this point of the season.

Both teams have lost all of their league games, bar one, and have each conceded a colossal amount of goals.

Edinburgh University currently sit bottom of the table, and have a game in-hand over Gretna 2008 – losing 12 of their 13 played and drawing with Linlithgow Rose to make up the solitary point. They have also conceded 55 goals and scored 15.

Gretna 2008 sit one place above Uni – losing 13 of their 14 games played and defeating Civil Service Strollers to make up their three points. The Anvils have the worst scoring and conceding record at this stage of the season – letting in 61 goals and finding the back of the net on only eight occasions.

Gala Fairydean Rovers took maximum points off Edinburgh University, last season – with 3-2 and 2-0 victories. When both sides met earlier this season, Rovers once again took the three points, thanks to a 2-1 win.

Up until their recent 2-1 defeat away to Caledonian Braves, GFR were on a run of six games without a defeat – including five victories, and they’ll be eager to get back to winning ways.

Caledonian Braves took maximum points off Edinburgh University, last season – thanks to 5-0 and 1-0 victories.

Edinburgh University are currently bottom of the Lowland League with one point – having lost nine of their ten games played, with the other being a draw.

The Students are on a five game losing streak and come into this having been knocked out of the South Challenge Cup and Scottish Cup by Berwick Rangers and Dunbar United.

Caledonian Braves currently sit in 16th place with eight points from their ten games played – made up of two wins, two draws, and six defeats.

Edinburgh University are currently bottom of the table with only one point – made up of eight defeats and a draw.

Uni looked set to pick up their first win against Gala Fairydean Rovers, midweek, and will have been disappointed to lose 2-1 with the goals for GFR coming on the 83rd and 92nd minute.

Edinburgh University sit bottom of the table, with only one point from seven games.

That point came last week – thanks to a 2-2 draw with Linlithgow Rose, breaking their losing streak of six straight defeats.

East Kilbride are flying at the top of the Lowland League, with 19 points from seven games.

The Kilby are the only team who have yet to deal with defeat, with six wins and a draw. They are also the top scorers – having scored 24 goals.

Berwick Rangers took maximum points off Edinburgh University, last season – thanks to 1-0 and 3-1 victories.

Edinburgh University are one of only two teams who have yet to put a point on the board, this season, alongside Gretna 2008.

Every Edinburgh Uni game this season, has had at least four goals scored. Unfortunately for the Students, they’ve been on the wrong side of 4-3, 6-2, 4-0, 4-2, and 7-1 results.

For Berwick Rangers, all things are in twos. The Wee Gers, or their opponents, have scored no more than two goals in their fixtures.

They started their campaign with 1-0 and 2-1 defeats to Caley Braves and Bo’ness United, 0-0 and 2-2 draws with Cumbernauld Colts and Stirling Uni, followed by back-to-back 2-1 victories against East Stirlingshire and Celtic B.

They have the second highest number of goals conceded – having let in 14 in three games.

Bo’ness United are the only team to have a perfect record, so far this season – winning all four games against Gala Fairydean Rovers, Berwick Rangers, Tranent, and Gretna 2008.

The B.U.s also have the joint-best defensive record alongside Broomhill, only conceding two.

Edinburgh University will be desperately looking to improve on their 22/23 campaign that saw only relegated Dalbeattie Star finish below them, as they ended with 16 points.

After ten years as manager, and a 23-year involvement with Edinburgh University, Dorian Ogunro departed East Peffermill, with Sean McAuley being the man to lead the students for the upcoming season.

Since 2018, Civil Service Strollers have been a constant in the top-half of the Lowland League – excluding the curtailed 20/21 season, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and ended the 22/23 campaign in eighth, on 58 points.

The Strollers have brought in midfielder, Dean Ritchie from Cowdenbeath, defender, Callum Yeats from Stenhousemuir, striker, Michael Mbewe from Gretna, and also sees Mark McConnell make a return to the club – following a spell with Broxburn Athletic.
