- Team form: East Kilbride are the runaway leaders in League Two 2025/2026, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 1 of their last 5.
- Forfar form: Forfar Athletic have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5.
Flying The Kilby
East Kilbride have been an unstoppable force in League Two 2025/2026 this season with Michael Kennedy’s progressive tactics and team culture finally starting to reap the rewards of his endeavors since taking the helm in May 2023. His team are a pleasure to watch and have a real philosophy and identity in their football, which is centered around controlling the ball, creating width from the full-backs and a patient build-up that will see them overwhelm their opponents through superior numbers in the final third.
They have also demonstrated a real tenacity and resolve in transition and rarely get caught out.
The Kilby are a team full of confidence right now and are well fancied to remain at the top of the table on 60 points from 32 matches when they travel to Station Park to take on 6th-placed Forfar Athletic on Saturday.
- Jambos talisman John Robertson is the League Two 2025/2026 leading scorer with 19 goals in 30 appearances and has been in particularly lethal form in recent weeks, registering 3 goals and 3 assists in East Kilbride’s last 5 games.
Tight at the back but dangerous on the counter
Forfar Athletic have had a very mixed start to the season and remain an inconsistent outfit under James Weir, who has done well to implement his pragmatic and compact tactical approach since taking over in November 2024. The Loons have an excellent home record this season (W7, D5, L4 from 16) but the team are in no way dominant on their home turf and have been unable to find a way to win in their most recent game at Station Park against this week’s opponents.
Forfar Athletic have been relatively strong at home in recent games (D1, W1) but their form is not as good as East Kilbride’s and the visitors will be coming here looking for all three points. It could be an open and entertaining match-up between these two clubs as East Kilbride’s attacking firepower against Forfar’s direct and disrupting style should see lots of back and forth action.
Bet on both teams to score
Prediction
There’s plenty of reason to fancy East Kilbride to take all 3 points here given their dominance in the recent head-to-heads and their superior league form this term. There is a temptation to back the visitors to put away the hosts but that is a bit too short at 1.82. We’re going for a BTTS selection in this one at 1.62, with over 2.5 goals at 1.7 the best option from the goal lines.
Supporting stats
Forfar Athletic have netted 25 times in 16 home games and have enough attacking talent in Martin Rennie (11 goals in 30 League Two 2025/2026 appearances) and Jake Sutherland (2 goals in Forfar Athletic's last 5 matches), to hurt the opposition. East Kilbride have scored 35 away goals in 16 matches and average 2.19 goals per away game.
