National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Fraserburgh or Montrose that keep their silverware dream alive.
5 - 5 - 5 with 22-23. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Montrose when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Montrose play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
These are full days for the team playing at home, as they had a match only three days ago in the League Cup. This match was also played here at Bellslea Park. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Montrose have had more rest.
Fraserburgh form and stats
Fraserburgh's previous match was also a home event, the loss 1-3 against Kilmarnock (in League Cup).
Prior to that, an away loss at Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in the Football League - Playoffs.The manager Cowie will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Stenhousemuir in only four days.
Montrose form and stats
Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the group stage.As the visiting team in League One matches, Montrose have produced an overall stat of 9-5-4 so far.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Montrose, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 4-6 versus Airdrieonians (after extra-time). A huge disappointment for Montrose in their last match (vs Airdrieonians). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 4-6 defeat.
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Airdrieonians in the Playoffs 2/3.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Kilmarnock in just four days.
The travelling fans enjoy Montrose's attacking play in away games, having scored 28 goals in 18 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (16 so far).
