Morton Preview – Can Morton hang on?
Morton boosted their chances of achieving Championship survival with a narrow 1-0 win away from home at League One outfit, Airdrie, in their recent 1st leg tie in this play-off for the right to play second tier football next season.
Morton had previously ousted Montrose in the play-off semi-finals, winning 4-3 on aggregate by virtue of recording a decisive 3-1 home win in the 2nd leg to overhaul their League One opponents and they’ll be looking for more of the same on Friday night.
Recent results have improved for Morton overall as the hosts have lost just one of their last six matches on home soil while also recording wins against Queen of the South and Dunfermline (the latter on penalties).
Airdrie Preview – Can Airdrie pull off a result?
Friday’s visitors, Airdrie, face a tough 2nd leg at Cappielow Park against their Championship hosts, Morton, especially following their recent 1-0 defeat in the 1st leg at their Penny Cars Stadium, and Airdrie’s record away at Morton isn’t a good one as mentioned earlier.
Airdrie had previously put together a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions which included a 4-3 aggregate win over Cove Rangers to reach this play-off final but results away from home have been inconsistent.
Airdrie have picked up just two wins out of their last seven matches on the road which were at Dumbarton and Cove Rangers but losses at Peterhead, Cove Rangers and Partick Thistle suggest this trip to Morton may end up in another defeat.
