Recent respective form guides

Airdrie United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Diamonds have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterhead's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the The Blue Toon have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Airdrie Utd. see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, showing a record of 20 points from their 18 games played so far, Peterhead lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, picking up 22 from their 19 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Airdrie Utd. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Diamonds will at least gain a draw. Score draw
