Forfar Athletic desperately need points today at 8:45 PM in the Challenge Cup. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Forfar Athletic come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Formartine United, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Forfar Athletic and Formartine United have split their 3 meetings almost evenly (2W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Formartine United won 0–2.

Forfar Athletic deploy a 4-4-2 while Formartine United opt for a 3-5-2 — the midfield battle between those shapes could determine where the game is won and lost.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Forfar Athletic a slight edge, but Formartine United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
