Recent respective form guides

Alloa Athletic will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Wasps have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Arbroath's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The Red Lichties's have scored 12 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 14.

Alloa Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 38 points from 31 matches. Arbroath are stuck down in the relegation zone of Bells Scottish Division Two with a return of just 31 points from their 31 games thus far.
