Recent respective form guides

Cowdenbeath's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bankies have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Montrose's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Gable Endies have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Cowdenbeath see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 37 points from their 30 games played so far, Montrose are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 38 points from 30 games.
