Gibson’s Greig’s are gunning for 3 points
Annan Athletic host Forfar Athletic on Saturday in a game that should see plenty of goal-mouth action. Wullie Gibson’s side are unbeaten in their last four home matches across all competitions, having beaten Buckie Thistle 4-0 in the Scottish FA Cup last time out and drawn 1-1 with Spartans FC in their previous Annan Athletic vs Forfar Athletic prediction.
Gibson has made Annan Athletic a high-octane, attack-first side since he took over in May 2024, installing a system with a high-press game plan and plenty of pace down the wings. His players play with guts and are willing to leave themselves open in transition, but they’ve largely been rewarded for their bravery; in their last five games they have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1.
At home in League Two 2025/2026, however, they’ve won just twice in seven games, drawing 3 and losing 2. They’ve scored 1.71 goals per game but conceded 2.29 per game, so it’s clear where the problem lies, especially for those considering their Annan Athletic vs Forfar Athletic prediction.
Aidan Smith is Gibson’s main man up front and he’s scored 5 goals in 15 appearances and is his side's top scorer.
Weir’s Loons have hit a purple patch
Forfar Athletic have the better head-to-head record against Annan Athletic, with a 1-0 home victory in the League Two 2025/2026 coming just 2 months ago, which makes the Annan Athletic vs Forfar Athletic preview highly anticipated by fans and pundits alike.
They’ve also won all of their last 3 away games, which has seen them enter the top 7 of the League Two 2025/2026 table. Forfar Athletic currently sit 5th in the table with 19 points from 15 games, while Annan Athletic are 5 points behind in 7th with 14 points from the same number of matches, a gap that could influence the Annan Athletic vs Forfar Athletic prediction.
Forfar Athletic rely on a compact defensive structure, a well-structured game plan and clinical counterattacks to get results, often playing a 3 at the back system. James Weir has made them a tough team to beat since he stepped up to the helm in November 2024.
In their most recent matches, however, their form has been inconsistent, with 3 wins in 5 games and back-to-back defeats to Partick Thistle (0-2) and East Kilbride (0-3). The 0-2 defeat to Partick at home in the Scottish FA Cup is particularly concerning for Weir, who has recently tweaked his tactical approach.
Away from home in the League Two 2025/2026, Forfar Athletic have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 4, scoring 1.38 goals per game and conceding 1.62 per game.
Martin Rennie is Weir’s most reliable goal threat with 5 goals in 15 League Two 2025/2026 games, matching Annan’s top-scorer Aidan Smith.
Annan Athletic are short favorites but the Loons have the upper hand

The Loons have the more reliable form in away games and have the edge in the head-to-head but Annan Athletic are on an undefeated streak at home. The clash of attacking styles should lead to an open game, with set pieces, wing play and midfield battles likely to decide this one in what promises to be an intriguing Annan Athletic vs Forfar Athletic prediction.
