Arbroath vs Greenock Morton – Match Preview
Ladbrokes Championship – Game 20 – Season 2019 / 2020
Saturday 4th January 2020, Gayfield Park, Arbroath, 3.00pm kick off
The Lichties return to action tomorrow for our first game of 2020 and our first home game of the new decade.
We give a warm welcome to David Hopkin’s Greenock Morton for our 3rd meeting of the season.
Both encounters this season have been very close matches with a Bobby Linn free kick giving the 3 points for Lichties in October.
In November a 3rd minute goal from Reece Lyon was enough to give Greenock Morton all 3 points.
Since then Greenock Morton have suffered defeat at the hands of Dundee United, Greenock Morton and Partick Thistle but did claim their first away win of the season against Alloa Athletic just before Christmas.
Morton midfielder Billy King has left Cappielow but they should have all other players to chose from.
After last weekend’s great win at Inverness, Manager Dick Campbell will be hoping David Gold has recovered from the knock that forced him off. Jason Thomson is pushing for a return to the starting line after missing several games due to injury.
It will be another extremely game for the Lichties, but we hope to have your support behind us from kick off.
