Forfar Athletic form and stats

With 0 League One wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Forfar Athletic, who have the the worst goal difference (-17) in League One, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home League One games in a row without a win, the Forfar fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Dumbarton game long ago, can be stopped today. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Forfar to get some points in this home game.

Forfar's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Dundee United. A League One defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Airdrieonians.

Forfar have scored 5 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. Forfar have conceded 14 from these games.

Clyde form and stats

There's been little loot from Clyde's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the League One. Clyde, who have the most conceded goals (31) in League One, only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on D. Lennon, the Clyde manager, as the last three away games were defeats. It's a growing despair in Clyde as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Clyde aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 186 league minutes without a goal. J. Jack was the last player to find the net.

Clyde play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to St. Johnstone. A loss against Dumbarton was the result prior to that, in a League One home game.

Clyde have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Clyde have conceded 15 goals in these games.
