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.

Montrose's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Gable Endies have hit 5 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 9 points from their 8 games played so far, Montrose are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 13 points from 8 games.

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. Score draw
