Recent respective form guides

Forfar Athletic's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Loons have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Albion Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Wee Rovers have hit 8 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Forfar Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 16 games have yielded only 12 points. Albion Rvs. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 22 from their 15 games so far.
