The Arbroath manager D. Campbell attacks this game with the team placed 10th so far. In the visitors dressing room Greenock Morton and their manager D. Hopkin are in 4th place before this match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Arbroath form and stats
Two Championship home games so far for Arbroath, who are yet to win here at Gayfield Park. Only 1 point so far.
The Arbroath supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Elgin City in League Cup and win 3-0. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Queen of the South that ended 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Arbroath perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Arbroath as a small favourite), we find four games. Arbroath has won two of these, drawn two and lost zero.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Arbroath at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Greenock Morton form and stats
No Championship points yet away for Greenock Morton, from their first 2 matches. Greenock Morton seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Partick Thistle (after extra-time) in their previous outing. The League Cup match ended in a draw 0-0. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus St. Mirren (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) that ended 1-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Greenock Morton playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were three Greenock Morton wins, zero draws and two defeats.
It's early days yet, but Greenock Morton has scored 0 and conceded 6 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
