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 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Albion Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The games have constituted a decent return of 14 goals for the Wee Rovers, and 9 goals against.

Forfar Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Three, picking up 12 points from their 9 games so far. Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 9 points from their 9 games played so far,
