📊 Form Guide

Annan Athletic

WLLLDL

Annan Athletic won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 2-0 League Two defeat last time out to Stranraer.

Thomas Orr (64') and Ruari Paton (78') scored for Stranraer.

Annan Athletic have really been misfiring in more recent games. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 versus opposing sides during the course of their previous six fixtures. In those games, Galabankies have also seen the tally of goals scored against them come to 10. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this game, though.

Analysis of their past results shows that Annan Athletic:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Cowdenbeath in their last 2 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 5 matches in the league. That's never good.

Cowdenbeath will go into the encounter following on from a 2-0 League Two win versus Brechin City in their last fixture.

Their prior results show that Cowdenbeath:

• are winless against Annan Athletic when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
