Recent respective form guides

Forfar Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Loons have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Ayr Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.

Forfar Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 13 matches. Ayr Utd.'s 21 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
