Although the teams have yet to meet in the league this season, the Wanderers have recorded victories over their visitors in both the Clydesdale and West of Scotland Cups earlier in the season, albeit both squads have changed somewhat since then. Forth manager Jamie McKenzie believes that Lesmahagow were the better side on both occasions and is well aware of the potent threat posed by them.
The ‘Gow have played 11 league matches this season, winning 8, drawing 2 and losing only to Carluke in early October, and have scored 34 goals in total, conceding 17. A record all the more remarkable in that,due to drainage problems, they didn't have a home game at Craighead Park for over 4 months until last Saturday's match with Carluke. Forced to play home matches at both Wishaw Sports Centre and Tileworks Park, Stonehouse, Lesmahagow showed their resilience recording comfortable victories in both.
Forth are without the injured Bryan Felvus and Barry 'Crocodile Dundee' Canning as they aim to make it 10 league victories on the bounce.
