History of the Montrose v Berwick Rangers fixture

Montrose prepare to entertain Berwick Rangers at Links Park Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 22 of the 49 previous games, with the Gable Endies winning just 17.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Links Park Ground was earlier this season, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Montrose's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Gable Endies have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Berwick Rgrs.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Borderers have hit 8 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Montrose's total of 32 points from their 22 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Irn Bru Scottish Division Three. Berwick Rgrs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 21 points from 21 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. No-score draw

Montrose 11 games since last home draw.
Berwick Rgrs. Lost each of the previous 2 away matches.
Not won in previous 2 away matches.
An overall losing run of 3 games.
No win in the 3 most recent games.
