Forfar struggling defensively

Elgin scoring freely on the road
Forfar v Elgin City
Monday 02 January, 15:00
Our chum Tobias finished his two-week stint in style yesterday, as a 3-3 draw between Hartlepool and Harrogate landed his Over 2.5 Goals bet with room to spare.
As he heads off to spend his Christmas money, we'll head to Scotland, because Forfar and Elgin City could produce a goalfest in League Two.
Regular listeners to Betfair's Football Only Bettor will know about Scotwatch, where our excellent tipster Mark O'Haire regularly focuses on Scottish League Two, and with good reason. It's a league that's jam-packed with goals, and I don't think there'll be an exception this afternoon.
Elgin City are third in the standings, and their games have routinely been a lot of fun this season. Ten out of 17 in the league have seen an Over 3.5 Goals bet land, and 14 of those 17 league outings have featured at least three goals. On the road, Elgin have scored three goals in four of their last five away games, and they have found the net at least once in every single road match.
Forfar are a bit more circumspect, but they are down in ninth, and have leaked 25 goals already. Six of their last 12 competitive matches have featured at least four goals, including three of the last six at home.
I'm happy to back goals here, and we can go for Over 3.5 Goals on the Exchange at a hefty 2.89/5.
