Recent respective form guides
Montrose's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Gable Endies have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Arbroath's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The The Red Lichties's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 13 goals for and 11 against.
Montrose are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 0 points from 2 matches. Arbroath lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 3 from their 2 games so far.
