Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Wee Rovers have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Alloa Athletic's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Albion Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 24 games have yielded only 14 points.

Alloa Athletic are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 48 points from 26 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Wee Rovers at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Wasps come away with an easy victory. Away win
