"Despite only making their Championship return this season, the Smokies have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across Scotland's second-tier. Opening up Friday's showdown sat in bronze medal position and with their sights set on mounting a shock promotion charge in 2026, the Angus-based outfit have lost just one of their previous 12 appearances across all competitions within 90 minutes."
"With that stellar run stemming all the way back to the start of November, Arbroath have also gained a reputation for their extended dominance on home soil. Last seen at Geyfield Park cruising their way to a routine 3-0 victory against East Fife, Friday's hosts are unbeaten in all of their previous nine straight matchups in Angus (six wins, three draws)."
"Now firmly looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Ian Murray's men open Friday's trip to Angus holding just a four-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone. Getting the New Year underway with an action-packed 3-2 loss against Partick Thistle, Morton have failed to win any of their previous five appearances across all competitions (four defeats, one draw)."
Arbroath sit third in the Championship and have lost only one of their previous 12 appearances within 90 minutes while mounting a surprise promotion charge for 2026. The Smokies returned to the second tier this season and have earned plaudits for consistent form and pronounced home dominance. Arbroath are unbeaten in nine straight matchups in Angus (six wins, three draws) and last recorded a 3-0 victory against East Fife. Greenock Morton sit four points above the relegation zone, have failed to win in five matches (four defeats, one draw), and have suffered heavy losses including a 4-0 cup defeat to Stenhousemuir and a 5-0 loss to St. Johnstone.
