Forfar Athletic are going through a rough patch. They have lost most of their recent games, including a heavy defeat, and their only bright spot was a narrow win on the road. Kelty Hearts have had a mixed run, with a couple of wins but also some losses, so they arrive in slightly better spirits. The two sides have already met twice this season, and both games were close and low-scoring, with Kelty Hearts winning each time by a single goal.

Overall, this looks like a tight, cagey match rather than a high-scoring one, and recent meetings suggest goals will be hard to come by. Given Forfar's poor form and Kelty's edge in the previous meetings, Kelty Hearts look the more likely side to come out on top.
