History of the East Fife v Alloa Athletic fixture

Alloa travel to take on East Fife at Bayview Stadium on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Wasps will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 31 and win only 11 of the 51 games.

The last time the two teams met at East Fife was just over four years ago, in February 1999, where Alloa annihilated the Wasps 0 - 4 in a Scottish Division Two match.
