Albion Rvs. prepare to entertain Gretna at Cliftonhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the Wee Rovers winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Cliftonhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2004, with Gretna inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Wee Rovers in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Albion Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Wee Rovers have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Gretna's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Black and Whites's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
Albion Rvs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 10 matches. Gretna are holding the final promotion place in the Bells Scottish Division Three, and have accumulated 25 points from the 10 games they have played so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Wee Rovers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Black and Whites come away with an easy victory. Away win
