The time’s nearly upon us for League Cup action taking place on Saturday when Forfar Athletic take on Brechin City.
For all of our match predictions, pre-game poll and statistics for Forfar Athletic v Brechin City, scroll down including the latest game odds.
Forfar Athletic will be looking for an improved result here following the 8-0 League Cup loss in their previous game against Livingston.
Tyrese Sinclair (11'), Graham Carey (19', 78'), Robbie Muirhead (30', 50'), Stevie May (35'), Aidan Denholm (53') and Joe Boggan (73') scored for Livingston.
Their more recent scorelines shine a light on the fact that quality has been lacking in the Forfar Athletic defence. Forfar Athletic have seen an unforgivable 20 goals go in at the wrong end as far as they are concerned over the course of their past 6 matches. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether that trend shall be sustained here in this game or not.
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Stenhousemuir in League Cup competition, Brechin City will be hoping to turn things around here.
The only player to score from Brechin City was Dale Hilson (43'). Michael Anderson (9') and Dale Carrick (45') scored for Stenhousemuir.
Indicating their penchant for productive encounters, the back of the net has been hit 21 times in the prior 6 matches in which Brechin City have taken to the field, yielding a mean average of 3.5 goals each clash. Their opponents have hit 20 of those goals.
Inspecting their past head to head meetings dating back to 18/07/2017 tells us that Forfar Athletic have won 2 of these & Brechin City 1, with the tally of draws standing at 3.
A combined sum of 17 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 9 of them from The Loons and 8 created by The City. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.83.
The previous league contest between these sides was League Cup match day 1 on 13/07/2019 which ended up with the score at Forfar Athletic 3-0 Brechin City.
The referee was Duncan Williams.
There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Forfar Athletic gaffer Jim Weir to be concerned about from a near full-strength set of players. 1 (Forfar Athletic) misses out.
Thanks to a fully healthy group to choose from, the Brechin City manager Andy Kirk has zero fitness concerns to report ahead of this game.
We believe that Brechin City are likely to put a goal past this Forfar Athletic side, but it probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re going for a close game with a 2-1 win for Forfar Athletic at the end of the 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
Regarding the latest bookmaker odds on the 90 minute result market, backing Forfar Athletic is available for 2, betting on the draw is 3.6 and taking a punt on the win for Brechin City gets 3. These are the top prices being offered at present.
