- Arbroath have won eight, drawn seven and lost only two of their 17 home games in the Championship 2025-2026.
- Partick Thistle have won five, drawn eight and lost only four of their 17 away games in the Championship 2025-2026, averaging 1.35 goals scored and 1.41 goals conceded per away fixture.
Thistle’s tempo should trouble hosts
Aidan Fitzpatrick has become a key figure in Partick’s recent resurgence with the Glaswegian midfielder providing three assists in the Jags’ last five games to help fuel their attack-minded approach. Mark Wilson’s side are the form team in the league coming into this one, with five games unbeaten (W3, D2) after a 2-0 home win over Dunfermline Athletic and a 2-2 away draw at Airdrieonians.
They have won one and drawn two of their last three on the road, while Arbroath have won two and lost only one of their last three at Gayfield. The head-to-head record between these two rivals is very close with Thistle having two wins, the host side one and two draws in the last five meetings in all competitions, although the last meeting seven weeks ago finished 0-0.
Colin Hamilton’s Arbroath line-up is a pragmatic and defensive structure with a few creative players to cause problems from set pieces or when the hosts can hit on the break. Findlay Marshall is the team’s top scorer in the Championship 2025/2026 with 12 goals from 34 games and has two in their last six, so he could be their biggest threat in the match.
Partick can edge a high-scoring affair
Thistle’s recent form makes them favourites for the away win here, but Arbroath’s good home record and set-piece prowess mean both teams to score should be backed in this game.
Wilson’s team will push the tempo of this game, while Hamilton will pack men behind the ball in a low block and look to catch the visitors on the counter-attack. There should be enough of an attacking threat from both sides to produce a few goalmouth incidents and with both sides averaging one goal apiece at home and away respectively, we’re backing an away win with a few goals in the game.
The odds for an away Thistle win are 97/100, Over 2.5 goals is 111/100 and Both Teams to Score - Yes is 43/50.
