Forfar Athletic have only collected 7 points from their away games in the League Two, after 2-1-4 (7 played).

Forfar Athletic had fun at their own home (Ochilview Park) last time out, beating Albion Rovers 1-0. Armour scored. That victory felt good as this team had gone four league rounds without victory.

A loss, in the Scottish Cup away at Dunfermline Athletic, before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Forfar as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Forfar Athletic have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
