Struggling Alloa Athletic will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Inverness CT in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Alloa Athletic have less rest than Inverness CT in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Championship game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Partick Thistle.
