Alloa Athletic

LDDWWL ⚖

After a losing effort in their last game against Falkirk in Scottish Cup action, Alloa Athletic and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

The only player to score from Alloa Athletic was Luke Donnelly (21'). Brad McKay (45') and Rumarn Burrell (77') scored for Falkirk.

Alloa Athletic have been effective going forward leading up to this encounter, having scored 9 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Brian Rice will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Alloa Athletic have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same games. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, of course.

Pre-game facts show that Alloa Athletic:

• haven't beaten Airdrie United when having played them away from home in the previous 5 league matches. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• are unbeaten in their last 3 league matches away from home.
