Edinburgh (home)
- FC Edinburgh are 10th with 12 points from 20 games.
- Recent form: W1, D1, L3.
- The hosts haven’t had a great start to the season, winning just once in 10 home games (W1, D3, L6), scoring 15 goals.
- Michael McIndoe’s men have been much more open and pressing since he took charge in October 2023, and they employ a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation that ensures players are all over the opposition when out of possession.
Annan Athletic (away)
- Annan Athletic are 7th in League Two with 21 points from 18 games.
- Recent form: W1, D3, L1.
- Wullie Gibson’s approach to the game has been much more rigid and conservative since his appointment as Annan manager in May 2024.
- The visitors defend deep and are more than willing to sit in and defend in a low block, before hitting men in behind with direct play and set pieces.
