Match of the Day
Jeanfield Swifts v Haddington Athletic
East of Scotland Football League Premier Division
AFTER an impressive start to the campaign, Haddington Athletic have hit something of a roadblock in terms of their form.
Two wins in nine games since the start of September became two wins in 10 after a draw at Penicuik Athletic last weekend.
Despite that, few of the games have seen Haddington outplayed and they will be looking to put together a winning run.
They face a tough task though against a Jeanfield Swifts side who look like they could be among the main challengers to league leaders Broxburn Athletic.
An impressive Scottish Cup win over Elgin City was followed up by a win over in form Sauchie Juniors.
Tranent v Gala Fairydean Rovers
Scottish Lowland Football League
STILL unbeaten since Ian Little took charge, Tranent are probably a bit disappointed to have only taken two points from their last two games.
Those results have allowed table-topping East Kilbride to stretch their advantage at the top of the table to 11 points, although Tranent do have a game in hand.
This afternoon, they welcome a Gala Fairydean Rovers side who have had their own inconsistencies.
They sit eighth in the table but have lost more than they have won in the league.
Dunbar United v Crossgates Primrose
East of Scotland Football League Premier Division
HOME advantage could prove crucial for Dunbar United as they look to get back to winning ways in the league.
Musselburgh edged to victory over them last weekend but Dunbar are part of a congested upper section of the Premier Division table.
Victory could be enough to put them second while defeat could see them slip from fifth to seventh.
Crossgates need points at the other end of the table as they are just five points above the drop zone.
Dundonald Bluebell v Musselburgh Athletic
East of Scotland Football League Premier Division
A TRIP to Fife awaits a Musselburgh side who have only lost two of their opening 12 league games.
A battling 1-0 win over county rivals Dunbar United saw them move above the New Countess Park side in the table.
Broxburn Athletic still lead the way at the top and Musselburgh know they can ill afford many slip-ups.
Their opposition are in mid-table but have shown they are capable of picking up results.
Preston Athletic v Camelon
East of Scotland Football League First Division
CO-MANAGER John Daly believes Preston Athletic are heading in the right direction and they have the chance to show that this afternoon.
Camelon Juniors sit third in the table and in the promotion places – where Preston want to be at the end of the campaign.
Three points for the Pennypit side would close the gap on their opponents and potentially move them up the table.
Their visitors have lost their last two league encounters but sit just three points off of top spot.
Easthouses Lily MW v Ormiston Primrose
East of Scotland Football League Second Division
POSTPONEMENTS have left Ormiston Primrose on the sidelines in recent weeks.
Scheduled clashes with both Thornton Hibs and Tweedmouth Rangers will need to be rearranged.
Those cancellations have denied Richie Weir’s men the chance to gain points and get out of the relegation zone in the Second Division.
Their hosts today sit nine points better off but have lost as many games as they have won so far in the league.
