Spartans vs Edinburgh City: match statistics
Although Spartans occupy the top spot in the table, their home form is unconvincing – only 50% wins at home and a negative goal difference (-2) in home matches. Edinburgh City displays impressive away form with 55% wins on the road and a positive goal difference (+6), however, their last five overall matches have ended in a winless streak (0.6 pts/match). A key factor is that Edinburgh have not recorded a single match without scoring away from home (0% FTS), which makes them dangerous, despite recently conceding 10 goals in five matches. Spartans have shown inconsistency in their last five overall matches (1.6 pts/match), which, combined with the visitors' solid though not perfect form, suggests a closely contested encounter. Taking all statistics into account, a draw appears to be the most likely outcome of this fixture.
