Match preview

Partick Thistle are notoriously camera-shy and they may have to settle for a point at Arbroath.

The Jags are on an incredible run of 25 TV games without a win and they seem to freeze in front of the cameras. And they will surely have a tough night at Gayfield.

Arbroath, managed by ex-Thistle boss Dick Campbell, have started their Ladbrokes Championship season in great style.

They are buzzing with confidence and although Thistle have the better squad on paper, manager Gary Caldwell has struggled to get much out of them and they have an alarming habit of blowing leads.

The teams could cancel each other out so back the draw.

Key stat

Arbroath have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five games.
