We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
2-3-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Arbroath when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those nine matches are 7-13 (scored/conceded).

Preceding that match was the home game against Partick Thistle that was lost 0-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
