Recent respective form guides

Alloa Athletic's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Wasps have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Airdrie United's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the The Diamonds, and 11 goals against.

Alloa Athletic are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 33 points from 31 matches.

Airdrie United lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, picking up 44 from their 31 games so far.

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