Recent respective form guides

Arbroath's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While The Red Lichties have scored 6, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.

Clyde's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Bully Wee have hit 7 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Arbroath are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 20 matches. Clyde find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 19 games have yielded only 15 points.
