Recent respective form guides

Forfar Athletic have been playing quite well at home, winning 3, drawing 2, and losing just 1. A total of 16 goals have been scored by the Loons in those games, with 10 conceded.

The Wee Rovers have had a decent run of form away from home recently, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. Just 5 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 2 have been let in at the wrong end.

Forfar Ath.'s total of 22 points from their 14 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Irn Bru Scottish Division Three. Albion Rvs. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 21 from their 13 games so far.
