Arbroath
- Arbroath have won three of their last five matches in all competitions.
- Arbroath are fancied at 2.08 to see off Greenock Morton at Gayfield Park on Friday, however, Billy Davies’ men are worth the gamble at 3.35 after winning four of the last five head-to-head meetings in the Championship 2025/2026.
- Arbroath have endured a recent jinx in this fixture with no wins in their last three home games against The Ton, but Colin Hamilton’s team is a much more mature unit now and are currently flying in 3rd place in the Championship 2025/2026 on 36 points from 22 games.
- They play a direct brand of high tempo 4-4-2 where they press to try and win the ball back as high up the field as possible before getting their powerful wide men and physical two forwards to push on.
- In Findlay Marshall, Arbroath have a real talisman on their hands with the club’s top scorer bagging eight times in 22 Championship 2025/2026 appearances.
Greenock Morton
- Greenock Morton have lost three of their last five fixtures.
- Eamonn Brophy was the Ton’s top-scorer for the 2025/2026 campaign with four goals in 17 appearances.
- Billy Davies’ side are having a difficult season after he took over in November 2025 and they sit 7th in the Championship 2025/2026 with 22 points from 21 matches.
- Morton have won just two of their 11 away matches this season, losing on four occasions.
- They have also lost their last three consecutive away games, including a 4-0 thrashing by Stenhousemuir in the Scottish FA Cup 2025/2026 last time out.
- The visitors will look to keep it tight and compact in a 4-2-3-1 system, trying to keep the ball and cause problems on the break and from set-pieces.

- Hamilton’s men have won both of their last two home matches and have scored 1.60 goals per-game on average at Gayfield this season.

Prediction
A clash of high octane pressing from Arbroath and Morton’s more controlled and compact style should make for an interesting strategic matchup, but with Davies’ men coming into this fixture without a win in five and the hosts possessing a strong home record in the Championship 2025/2026 ( W5, D4, L1 ), we’ll back the hosts to get it done in a tense, physical game.
