Aye, Albion have been in great form recently. All our scraps with them this season (4 so far!!) have churned out 18 goals, and Arbroath having a 2-1-1 record. Remember we have 3 games in hand over them in the league.
Our last game against them (Nov 25th), we totally dominated if i recall, and was a pretty easy victory, them scoring a (albeit wonderstrike) consolation in the last minute in our 3-1 win.
In their last 5 games they've had good results against Stenny and QP, and also beaten the bottom 3 in the league. Nice form - but games against elgin and montrose are gimme's
We've only played 45 mins football since the 2nd on Jan, will this be good coz we are fully rested, or bad for lack of competitive matches..?
We've brought in 2 new players, defensive mid
Doyle, and striker Savage (both from Albion i think). Both have decent reports from opposition fans. Also emigrate Dobbins is back which is always a good thing!
Have Albion brought in or lost anyone? On quick inspection i can't see any major signings...
Sellars has been fit for the past month, as have all 1st team players - we should have a full squad on Saturday.
Our home form is a bit poor overall to be fair, but if you analyze it, you'll see we haven't lost at home since 11th Nov (freak loss to Shire
), since we have 2 wins (Stenny and Montrose) and a draw to East Fife.
I always say any odds above evens for Arbroath at home is a great price, and Saturday is no different. The odds are greatly weighted on Albions recent form and Arbroath's home form, but bear in mind we are in good home form of late, and good form against Albion.
5/4 is a price i'd definitely take, and may be even bigger when other bookies price up (expekt usually give us huge odds).
Arbroath @ 5/4 for me, pending late team news or odds increase.
