There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Montrose gaffer Stewart Petrie to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Craig Wighton (Knee injury) is out of contention.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Montrose will have their work cut out to get anything against this Arbroath team who will likely score one, at least.

We’re therefore tipping a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 advantage for Arbroath at the end of this one.

It should be a good one.
