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 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Brechin City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The The City's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Forfar Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 6 points. Brechin City's total of 17 points from their 12 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Bells Scottish Division Two.
