All the info ahead of Saturday's WOSFL First Division clash against Drumchapel United.

The Match:
On Saturday, we travel to Donald Dewar Centre to take on title favourites Drumchapel United. The match kicks off at 14:00.

Weather:
The forecast looks dry but cold. The Donald Dewar Centre has an artificial pitch so there'll be no doubt surrounding the playing surface. Although, at the time of writing, the forecast is dry for Saturday, there is no shelter from the elements at Donald Dewar Centre, so be prepared in case the forecast gets it wrong.  

Form:
We suffered our first league defeat in seven matches last Saturday against Kilbirnie, and have failed to win in 90 minutes in our last four, although we did win two of those on penalties. Prior to last Saturday's defeat, we were unbeaten in six in all competitions. In the league, we currently sit 9th, 13 points behind leaders Petershill. However, we do have nine games in hand on them and, along with Shotts Bon Accord, have played fewer games than every other team in our division, so we're still well in the battle for promotion.

Our Opponents:
The Drum come into this game sitting 4th, with 33 points from 18 matches. They are 4 points clear of us, having played 3 games more and are 9 points off the top, with six games in hand. Like us, they didn't play at the weekend. They'll come into Saturday's game on the back of a 1-0 win at Whitletts Victoria last Saturday, and have won three of their last five, including beating Neilston 3-0 in the Strathclyde Demolition Cup Final. Their last three wins have all seen them keep a clean sheet.

Previous Meeting:
Johnstone Burgh 2-1 Drumchapel United. The teams last met back in August, in our first home game of the season. In a dominant display, Kieran Brophy put us ahead midway through the first half, then Ross McKenzie sealed the win with five minutes to play, before a 90th minute consolation made us sweat through added time but we held on to take an important 3 points.

Getting There:
