Recent respective form guides

Montrose's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Gable Endies have scored 6, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Albion Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Wee Rovers have hit 6 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Montrose find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 22 games have yielded only 9 points. Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 26 points from their 20 games played so far,
