History of the Albion Rovers v Forfar Athletic fixture

Albion Rvs. prepare to entertain Forfar Athletic at Cliftonhill on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Wee Rovers are clearly on top, winning 50.79% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Cliftonhill was less than a year ago, in February 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Wee Rovers have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Forfar Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Loons have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Albion Rvs. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Wee Rovers will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
