Elgin have momentum and momentum
Elgin City have been on a great run of form recently and will arrive at Station Park on Saturday looking to maintain their momentum against Forfar Athletic.
The visitors have won 3, drawn 1 and lost just 1 of their last 5 matches and currently sit 4th in League Two 2025/2026 on 42 points from 31 games, four ahead of Saturday’s hosts who are 6th on 37 points from 31.
Elgin City’s recent success is down to a combination of factors, most notably the progressive style of soccer Allan Hale has instilled in his players since taking over in December 2023. The Elgin side press high, transition quickly and use the width of the pitch to its full potential, forcing turnovers and attacking with aggression in the final third.
In contrast, Forfar Athletic are a deep, compact unit who sit in a structured block and look to counterattack in numbers when they can. James Weir’s pragmatic approach has seen them sit mid-table in the division since his appointment in November 2024, but they have enough momentum of their own to make this a closely contested affair.
History and league positions suggest an open game
Both of these teams will be eyeing up the points as they jostle for position in a congested League Two and, as the visitors have failed to win on either of their previous two trips to Forfar Athletic, the hosts will be confident of taking something from this game.
However, Elgin City are enjoying their best run of the season and have the players to exploit any gaps in the home side’s defence. Forfar have won six, drawn five and lost four of their 15 home matches in League Two 2025/2026, scoring 1.53 and conceding 1.33 goals per game on average. Elgin have won 3, drawn 6 and lost 6 of their 15 away league games, scoring 19 goals in total.
With both teams needing the points and Elgin looking to continue their winning streak, I expect Elgin City to nick the win on Saturday in what should be an open and entertaining 90 minutes.
The odds of 83/50 on an away win look fair enough, but I’m going for Over 2.5 goals at 39/50 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 31/50 for the main predictions for this clash of two League Two 2025/2026 sides in need of the win.
Talent on both sides
Ryan Sargent is the top scorer for Elgin City this season, with 9 goals in 31 League Two 2025/2026 games. He has 3 goals in Elgin's last five and is in good form heading into Saturday's game.
Martin Rennie is Forfar's top scorer this season with 10 in 29 League Two 2025/2026 appearances. He provides the majority of the home side's firepower, but has had some help recently with Jake Sutherland scoring two goals in Forfar's last five matches.
