After five games we know a little more about the qualities of Montrose and Partick Thistle in this fresh League One season. Read our match preview!
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!
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Partick Thistle's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Partick Thistle have performed like this: Played 15 matches resulting in 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats with the goal stats 19-10 (scored/conceded).
Montrose form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Montrose's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Links Park.
Montrose are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Clyde. Heartbreak before that as Montrose lost 1-2 at Stirling Albion's place.
Early season league goal statistics from Montrose's 2 home games: 4 goals, 5 conceded.
Partick Thistle form and stats
It's not happening yet for Partick Thistle on their League One travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Partick Thistle have lost on their last two travels.
Partick go into this game after a win, the home game against East Fife that ended 2-0. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Greenock Morton (after extra-time) in the League Cup.
It's early days yet, but Partick Thistle has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
