FootyMAD's Annan Athletic match preview

History of the Montrose v Annan Athletic fixture

Montrose prepare to entertain Annan Athletic at Links Park Ground on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Gable Endies have drawn one game and lost the other.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Links Park Ground was less than a year ago, in January 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Montrose's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Gable Endies have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Annan Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Black and Golds have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Montrose find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 5 points. Annan Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 19 from their 15 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Montrose at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Gable Endies will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
