Dunfermline Athletic

Preview Brechin City

Wednesday, 26th Mar 2014

Both sides still have plenty to play for with the Pars seeking to secure a play off place and Brechin trying to avoid one at the other end.

RYAN WILLIAMSON v BRECHIN CITY

This Saturday it is just the second home league match against Brechin City since 30th April 1994.  Both sides still have plenty to play for with the Pars seeking to secure a play off place and Brechin trying to avoid one at the other end.

There have been 40 league meetings between these teams; the Fifers have won 28, Brechin City 5 and 7 matches including the last have been drawn. The Pars have only lost three home games against their Angus opponents but there have been some high scoring games.

Ryan Thomson v Brechin City

Brechin City have now gone six games without a win but since they are only four points above East Fife in the play off slot they will be keen to pick up points. Their last away win was at Ayr on 18th January.  Dunfermline have not won in their last four games and with only one point from them they too will be keen to start picking up points again.

Defence v Brechin

By all accounts Brechin City were desperately unlucky not to take a share of the spoils after losing 2-1 against Rangers at Glebe Park on Sunday.  Ray McKinnon`s injury-hit side gave as good as they got over the course of the 90 minutes and can consider themselves really unfortunate not to have taken anything from the game.
