History of the Montrose v Clyde fixture

Montrose play host to Clyde at Links Park Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 9 of the 19 previous games, with the Gable Endies winning just 5.

The last time the two teams met at Montrose was just over four years ago, in August 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Challenge Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Montrose's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Gable Endies have scored 7, a worringly large 11 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. The Bully Wee's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Montrose find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 6 games have yielded only 4 points. Clyde are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 6 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Montrose at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Gable Endies will at least gain a draw. Score draw
