The wait is almost over for the League Cup action on Saturday as Montrose will take on Spartans.
Scroll down for all of our predictions, poll and stats for the Montrose v Spartans game (inc. the best betting odds).
Montrose will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 0-2 League Cup triumph over Arbroath.
The only name on the scoresheet from Montrose was Ewan Loudon (19', 28').
A recurring feature of recent Montrose games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
Taking their prior 6 matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've lost. Nevertheless, time will tell whether that pattern might continue on in this next game.
Since a losing effort in their last game against Dundee United in League Cup competition, Spartans will be hoping to turn things around here.
Lachlan Rose (26', 64'), Dylan Tait (73') and Zac Sapsford (93') scored for Dundee United.
Looking at their form, and Spartans have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 14 goals in all. In defence, Spartans just haven’t been too solid at all.
Looking at personnel, there is just a single fitness concern for the Montrose gaffer Stewart Petrie to be concerned about from an otherwise complete set of players. 1 (Montrose) will miss out.
Out of a mainly full-strength squad, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Spartans boss Dougie Samuel to be concerned with. 1 (Spartans) won’t be playing here.
We’re of the view that Montrose will probably be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.
In contrast, Spartans may well struggle to make a breakthrough but do we see them being dangerous at times, too.
Therefore, we are anticipating a controlled 3-1 winning score for Montrose when all’s said and done.
In terms of the bookies’ odds in the full-time result market, victory for Montrose is best priced at 1.22, a bet on the game finishing all-square is 4.75 and taking a punt on a victory for Spartans is 12. They are the best market prices on offer at present.
