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. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Alloa Ath. Drawn last 2 games at home.
Failed to win in previous 2 home matches.
Ayr Utd. Last drawn game 4 outings ago.
