Spartans welcome Forfar Athletic at Ainslie Park Stadium, Edinburgh on Saturday, Jan 9 at 4:00 PM in a League 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Spartans come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Forfar Athletic travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Spartans won their last outing, while Forfar Athletic suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Spartans here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Forfar Athletic, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

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