The season is still fairly new and the League One table has to be read with caution. So far Peterhead find themselves in 7th position and Forfar Athletic are placed 10th.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Forfar Athletic's home stadium. The visitors last 21 games on grass have ended in 4 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses.
Peterhead form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Peterhead's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Balmoor Stadium.
Peterhead's previous game was a League One match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Dumbarton (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that match was a League Cup defeat to St. Johnstone (1-3).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Peterhead have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost one.
Early season league goal statistics from Peterhead's 2 home games: 1 goal, 2 conceded.
Forfar Athletic form and stats
Still no away game victory in the League One for Forfar Athletic with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts. It's a growing despair in Forfar as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Home advantage was not enough for Forfar Athletic in their previous game, as they lost their League One-match, hosting Airdrieonians, 1-3. It was a League Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Cove Rangers wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Forfar are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and three defeats. From a total of seven matches.
1 goal so far away for Forfar Athletic, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Peterhead won four, Forfar Athletic won four and two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
