Montrose host Cove Rangers at Links Park, Montrose on Saturday, Jan 2 at 4:00 PM in the League 1.
Montrose come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Cove Rangers travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Montrose won their last outing, while Cove Rangers suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Despite playing at home, Montrose face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Cove Rangers have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Montrose won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Montrose a slight edge, but Cove Rangers are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
