Alloa play host to Dumbarton at Recreation Park on Saturday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Wasps have the slight edge, having won 27 of the 54 games compared to Dumbarton's 17 wins.
The last time the two teams met at Alloa was back in April 1998, over five years ago, with Alloa running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Alloa Athletic's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Wasps have scored 11, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Dumbarton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Sons have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Alloa 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

| Alloa | 10 games since last home draw. Not drawn a match in their last 9 . |
| Dumbarton | Previous 2 away games have finished all-square. Not won in previous 2 away matches. 8 games since last defeat. |
