For Arbroath, the goals were scored by Gavin Swankie (27'), Jason Thomson (43') and Thomas O'Brien (86'). Graham Webster (10') was the scorer for Montrose.

A sequence of hard-working showings from the Arbroath defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their last 6 fixtures overall. In that period of time, their forwards have scored 9. However, we must now wait to see if that trend will be replicated here in this match.

There is just the lone fitness concern for the Ross County gaffer Stuart Kettlewell to be concerned with from a near full-strength squad. Josh Reid (Quarantine) will miss out.

Owing to an otherwise available group, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Arbroath gaffer Dick Campbell to be concerned with. Mark Whatley (Knock) won’t be in action.

💡 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Arbroath are dangerous enough to score against this Ross County outfit, although that is unlikely to be enough to prevent defeat.

We reckon that it will be a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Ross County by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Should be a good one.
