Alloa Ath. prepare to entertain Ayr United at Recreation Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 22 of the 47 previous games, with the Wasps winning just 12.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Park was just last season, in February 2009, as the Wasps squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Scottish Division Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Alloa Ath. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Wasps will at least gain a draw. Score draw
