Head-to-Head
Montrose have won two and drawn one of the last three head-to-heads in League One with Peterhead.
Montrose
- Montrose’s recent form has been a mixed bag with one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five.
- Montrose have won five and lost five of their ten home games in League One this term, scoring a modest 12 goals at Links Park.
Peterhead
- Peterhead are winless in their last five games with three draws and two defeats, including back-to-back draws in their most recent two, but will fancy their chances of ending the drought against a Montrose side they held to a 0-0 draw at Montrose just 13 days ago.
- In contrast, Peterhead have won only three, drawn one and lost six of their away games, conceding 22 goals.
Key Players
- The hosts are a little short in the goals department in general, however, with Callum Sandilands, the top scorer this season for Montrose in League One, having bagged 5 goals in 21 games.
- Kieran Shanks is the Blue Toon’s main goal threat this term with nine goals in League One, while Craig McGuffie is a creative force with three assists in their last four.
- Taylor Sutherland has hit a hot streak for Montrose, scoring three of their last five goals in the past four games.
Betting Insights
- Stewart Petrie’s Montrose are the slight favorites at 2.5 to win this, while the Blue Toon are available at 2.6 and the draw at 3.25.
- Both sides have been in decent scoring form recently and with both teams to score a low odds 2.05, we’re happy to side with the home team to make it a close game with goals at both ends.
Prediction
- Although Montrose have been in slightly better form than Peterhead recently, the head-to-head record and home field edge favour the home side.
- However, we’re taking Peterhead to make a game of this one with their pressing game and ability to hurt the Gable Endies on the counter.
- Montrose are a patient team who like to control the pace of the game and prefer to control possession in the half-spaces and wide channels where they can overburden their opposition with numbers.
- Peterhead will try to disrupt this by pressing high and taking risks to win the ball back where they can hit the Gable Endies on the break.
