Arbroath and Partick face off in a match-up of contrasting styles
Colin Hamilton’s pragmatic, direct approach to the game involves his Arbroath side sitting deep and disciplined, before hitting on the counter or from set-pieces. Mark Wilson’s Partick, on the other hand, are a more proactive possession-based side who try to overload the middle of the field and press the opposition high up the field.
These two contrasting styles could produce a cracking match on Saturday, and our Arbroath vs Partick Thistle prediction suggests that it could go either way.
Both teams to score is the best starting point

Partick can edge a close one

Logan Chalmers is the highest scorer for Partick with six in 17 league games, and the Thistle midfielder offers them a constant goal threat from midfield.
