Recent respective form guides

Arbroath's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Red Lichties have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Morton's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the The 'Ton, and 9 goals against.

Arbroath are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 12 matches. Morton are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 19 points from 12 games.
