Recent respective form guides

Airdrie United's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Diamonds have scored 6, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Partick Thistle's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Jags have conceded 6 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Airdrie United are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 14 matches.
