Annan Athletic vs Edinburgh City: match statistics

Annan Athletic sits 10th in the table and is in poor form over their last 5 matches (0.8 PPG), yet they perform solidly at home with a 36% win rate and an average of 1.86 goals per game. Edinburgh City is placed higher (4th), but in away matches, they have an identical goal difference (-2) and a similar win percentage (43%). Both teams boast a high average of goals scored but also suffer from poor defending - Annan concedes an average of 2 goals at home, while Edinburgh concedes 1.43 away.
