Arbroath form and stats

Things could have gone better for Arbroath in their Championship away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Arbroath failed to get anything from their last game, a Championship home match vs Ayr United (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 0-3. Prior to that match, the Arbroath manager D. Campbell faced defeat when travelling to Dundee United and losing 1-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
