Recent respective form guides

Forfar Athletic's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Loons have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Morton's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. These six games have produced a glut of goals, with the The 'Ton scoring 18 and conceding 6.

Forfar Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 16 matches. Morton are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 26 points from 16 games.
