Annan Athletic (home)
- Annan Athletic have had a very up-and-down time of it this season.
- Wullie Gibson has played a lively, quick-paced 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 style of soccer throughout with his full backs getting forward often and pressing high up the field.
-
This has led to plenty of attacking play but plenty of goals conceded, 30 in 17 home games to be exact.
- W7
- D6
- L4
- Aidan Smith has been their main man up front this season, netting 11 League Two goals in 33 appearances, and he’s found his stride recently with two goals in the last five games.
Forfar Athletic (away)
- James Weir’s Forfar Athletic has been much more process-oriented this campaign, setting up a compact, disciplined system in which the Loons press selectively, counter well when they have the ball, and are organised at the back.
- It’s been an effective approach and has given them a 4th placed spot in League Two 2025/2026 with 49 points from 35 games, while Annan Athletic sit 7th on 40 points.
- The Loons are in much better form than the hosts though, winning four of their last five and drawing the other.
- Jake Sutherland has found his form in front of goal, notching three of their ten goals across the last five matches.
Head-to-Head
Forfar Athletic beat Annan Athletic 2-1 in the return fixture two months ago in League Two 2025/2026.
Key Players
- Aidan Smith has been their main man up front this season, netting 11 League Two goals in 33 appearances, and he’s found his stride recently with two goals in the last five games.
- Jake Sutherland has found his form in front of goal, notching three of their ten goals across the last five matches, and will provide a strong threat against an Annan defence that have been getting caught out a bit recently.
Betting Insights
- Forfar have struggled on the road, averaging 1.18 goals per game in League Two away games this campaign (W4, D5, L8).
- The two sides are averaging 3.0 goals a game when they play each other.
Prediction
- I think the visitors will edge it in this one as they are in better form and also have the head-to-head advantage.
- Expect a high-scoring match and Forfar Athletic to win.
