Montrose form and stats

Montrose have less points than they have played home games in the League One so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Montrose with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Forfar Athletic game, 31 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Montrose, their manager S. Petrie and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Montrose crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Partick Thistle here at Links Park in a Challenge Cup match. Before that game, the home loss against Dumbarton with the scoreline 1-2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Montrose at home in the league. 1 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

East Fife form and stats

Four points from two away games for East Fife, meaning one draw and one victory in the League One so far.

It's the second away game in a row for East Fife, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Forfar Athletic (placed 6th) in the League One last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 4-2 vs Raith Rovers.

It's early days yet, but East Fife has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head
