ELGIN CITY are one of only three unbeaten teams in the Scottish league and they look like solid shots to send Stranraer back on a long journey home on a downer.
The Borough Briggs team are motoring along nicely in League Two and have yet to taste defeat. They also managed to get through to the next round of the Scottish Cup last week when a penalty shootout over Clyde.
But they've really impressed recently in the league after important away wins at Peterhead and Spartans – two of the favourites to win the title.
They took a few hefty beatings at the start of the season in the League Cup but have sorted themselves out and Allan Hale's men are flying right now.
Stranraer escaped live TV humiliation last week after being 2-0 down to 33/1 Threave Rovers in the Scottish Cup and deserve credit for turning it around to win 3-2.
But it looks like another tough season for the Stair Park outft who escaped the dreaded drop into the Lowland League last season with a play-off win against East Kilbride.
And 4/6 with McBookie.com looks a fair price for a home win.
Hamilton Accies look a big price at McBookie.com's 13/8 to pile on the agony to struggling Airdrie in an all-Lanarkshire clash in the Championship.
The Diamonds won plenty of praise last season for reaching the play-offs in their first season back, but Rhys McCabe has found it a real struggle this term and they are already looking like being cast adrift at the bottom of the table.
They have lost six of their last seven games in the league and they have picked up a bad habit of losing by one goal, as they have done in their last four league losses.
Accies are packed full of players with Championship experience and striker Oli Shaw is in good form right now as he showed with a hat-trick in their 3-0 win against Morton last week.
Alloa are joing top of League One – the tightest league in the land – and they can beat Annan Athletic at evens with McBookie.com.
Just five points separate top from bottom in a league that is incredibly competitive and anyone could win it…or go down.
The Wasps have already defeated Annan at their Galabank home and can do so again against poor travellers Annan, who have lost five out of their six league games.
