Airdrieonians vs Arbroath – Match Preview
Match Day 35 – Ladbrokes League 1 – Season 2018 / 2019
Saturday 27th April 2018, The Penny Cars Stadium, Airdrie – 3.00pm kick off
Arbroath make the trip down to Airdrie tomorrow for our penultimate league game of the season as we take on Ian Murray’s Airdrieonians at The Penny Cars Stadium.
Defeat last weekend by Montrose dashed any hopes that Airdrieonians may have had reaching the play-offs but they will be doing their best to crash the Lichties celebrations.
Our last game down at the Penny Cars Stadium was a very tight game played in difficult weather conditions with a Ricky Little header the difference between the two sides.
Arbroath Manager Dick Campbell is again expected to use his squad with just two games left of the current season.
Airdrieonians Team News
www.airdriefc.com report that Scott Gallacher, Jordan Houston, Chris O’Niell, Grant Gallagher and Dale Carrick are already ruled out tomorrow due to injury with the possibility that Darryl Duffy and Ben MacKenzie may also miss out due to a groin and knee injury respectively with former Lichtie Scott Robertson definitely out as he starts the first of a 3 match suspension.
Arbroath Team News
Arbroath will be hoping defender Jason Thomson will be fit after having to come off against Raith Rovers last weekend due to injury.
It will be another tough game but we would love it if you can make the trip to support the Lichties!
