Match Preview: Brechin - Cowdenbeath
Soccernet.com

Brechin City manager Dick Campbell is likely to make changes after one of his side's biggest defeats in recent seasons.

The Angus club prepare to host Cowdenbeath after a 6-1 hammering by Stranraer - a defeat on the scale that the Third Division champions are not used to.

Although Campbell has no fresh selection problems, he is considering whether to give his side a chance to make amends or to make sweeping changes.

He said: "We're not the sort of club that can brush off a result like that easily.

"We've worked hard this week and I'll expect a different attitude this week regardless off who's on the park."

Cowdenbeath manager Keith Wright has warned his players that Brechin will be fired up after their thumping at the hands of Stranraer.

Ian Mauchlan is still out with an Achilles injury while striker Davie White and defender Keith Wilson both face late fitness tests after picking up knocks against Montrose on Tuesday.

Wright said: "This will be a difficult game for us. Brechin were beaten 6-1 by Stranraer and I know Dick Campbell will have them fired up for us.

"It's always a tight game up there and I'm sure it will be the same again. But I've been pleased with the start to the season and it's just a matter of keeping things going.

"Our work-rate has been fantastic and that has been getting us through the games."
