Forfar Athletic
- Forfar Athletic are unbeaten in their last five (W3, D2) and have two wins and one draw in their last three home games.
- They have conceded 19 goals in 14 home games in the league, so it would be a surprise if Spartans’ lone striker doesn’t get chances to punish the home side.
- Forfar are fifth with 35 points from 27 matches while Spartans are second with 51 from 28 games.
Spartans FC
- Douglas Samuel, who has been a steady influence as manager since 2012, has created a tough, structured side that defends in a compact low-to-medium block and press at the right times to launch dangerous counters.
- Mark Stowe, with 17 goals in 28 appearances in League Two 2025/2026, is their main man up front and his mobility and finishing ability can unlock defenses when the solitary striker is isolated.
