5 years ago 825

Arbroath and Kilmarnock battle for the top place in the Scottish Championship at the Gayfield Park on Friday night with kickoff at 22:45.

Both sides have made impressive campaigns in the Scottish Championship this season with Arbroath recording 11 wins, eight draws and three defeats from their 22 matches to collect 41 points which have left them sitting at the summit of the table, while Kilmarnock have recorded 12 wins, four draws and six defeats from their 22 matches collecting 40 points which have them sitting in the second place one point behind their hosts.

Both head into the match in good forms as Arbroath have only lost one of their last 15 matches across all competitions, claiming nine wins and five draws in the process and are coming off back to back victories against Raith Rovers in the Championship and Darvel FC in the Sottish Cup, while Kilmarnock have only lost one of their last six across all competitions, claiming three wins and two draws in the process and are coming off a 1-0 win against Inverness CT in the league.

With one point separating the two at the summit, both will go in guns blazing for the three points that would leave them leading the division. However, Arbroath might fancy their chances more as they are in good home form as they remain unbeaten in their last 11 matches at Gayfield Park and the last time the two met in the reverse fixture Arbroath came away with a 1-0 win.
