Recent respective form guides

Montrose's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Gable Endies have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Livingston's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Livi's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

Montrose find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 10 games have yielded only 3 points. Livingston are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 19 points from 10 games.
