Recent respective form guides

Greenock Morton's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. The 'Ton have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 of their own chances.

Partick Th.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the The Jags, and 3 goals against.

Morton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 12 matches. Partick Th.'s 19 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
