An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 7th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Arbroath's home stadium. The visitors last 13 games on artificial turf have ended in 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses.
