Formartine United come off a 1-1 away draw with Clachnacuddin. Before that a 2-3 home defeat to Dundee United II, a 1-1 home draw with Nairn County, a 2-1 away win at Forres Mechanics and further back a 4-1 home win over Keith. Montrose arrive on five straight wins: the latest 2-1 at home to Cove Rangers, before that a 3-2 home win over Dundee II and a 3-0 away win at Peterhead, and further back home wins of 2-1 over Queen of the South and 3-0 over Clyde. The only previous meeting was in June 2022, won 4-3 by Montrose playing at home. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
