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 6, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Brechin City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The City's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 9 against.

Albion Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 29 games have yielded only 17 points.

Brechin City are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 51 points from 28 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 City come away with an easy victory. Away win
