Match Preview : Annan Athletic v Berwick Rangers – Ladbrokes League Two

5 games to go in the Ladbrokes League Two season and all to play for as Johnny Harvey and the lads travel to 4th placed Annan Athletic tomorrow afternoon for a 3pm kick-off.

Peter Murphy’s home side are looking to cement a play-off position as they look for promotion to League One for next season.

Annan have beaten the ‘Gers three times in the league this season so it will be a tough afternoon for the visitors.

Visiting supporters will have one eye on the Albion Rovers v Queen’s Park match taking place at the same time as the relegation battle nears its conclusion. Both Berwick and Albion Rovers have 5 cup finals remaining in an attempt to finish 9th in the league and avoid the nerve shredding play-off system for relegation out of the league.

History

The sides have met 43 times in the Scottish football league in history. Berwick have 11 victories to date and 56 goals.

Berwick News
