Bitesize Prediction: Arbroath vs Greenock Morton – 23/01/26

Competition: Scottish Championship

Market: Arbroath win

Odds: 19/20 @ Pribet

Looking to extend on their Championship promotion charge on Friday night, Arbroath will welcome Greenock Morton to Gayfield Park.

Starting with the hosts, despite watching their Scottish Cup adventure come to a heartbreaking end last week as they suffered a penalty shootout defeat away at Airdrieonians, Arbroath should find the mood in their camp at c continued high. Despite only making their Championship return this season, the Smokies have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across Scotland’s second-tier. Opening up Friday’s showdown sat in bronze medal position and with their sights set on mounting a shock promotion charge in 2026, the Angus-based outfit have lost just one of their previous 12 appearances across all competitions within 90 minutes. With that stellar run stemming all the way back to the start of November, Arbroath have also gained a reputation for their extended dominance on home soil. Last seen at Geyfield Park cruising their way to a routine 3-0 victory against East Fife, Friday’s hosts are unbeaten in all of their previous nine straight matchups in Angus (six wins, three draws).

As for the visitors, watching their respective Scottish Cup adventure come to a thumping end last weekend as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming at the hands of Stenhousemuir, Morton find themselves at the heart of a real struggle. Now firmly looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Ian Murray’s men open Friday’s trip to Angus holding just a four-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone. Getting the New Year underway with an action-packed 3-2 loss against Partick Thistle, Morton have failed to win any of their previous five appearances across all competitions (four defeats, one draw). With their nightmare blip underlined by a 5-0 defeat against St. Johnstone on December 20th, Friday’s guests have shown some glaring defensive struggles. In fact, Murray’s downbeat squad have shipped 13 goals in just their last four outings. Given what has been a huge recent gulf in class, we are backing a home victory at Gayfield Park this weekend.
