History of the Greenock Morton v Airdrie United fixture

Airdrie Utd. face a trip to Greenock Morton at Cappielow Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Diamonds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

Recent respective form guides

Greenock Morton's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The 'Ton have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Airdrie Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Morton find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 6 games have yielded only 3 points. Airdrie Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 4 points from 6 matches.
