Alloa Athletic form and stats

Alloa Athletic, who have the most conceded goals (10) at home in Championship, have collected 4 points from their Championship home games so far after 1-1-2.

Alloa's previous game was a Championship match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Inverness CT (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Ahead of that match, Alloa lost 1-2 at home to Hibernian.

The victory against Inverness CT came after R. Thomson's winning goal. The Alloa Athletic manager P. Grant was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 62nd minute.

There will be little rest for Alloa after this match as they are travelling to Dundee for a Championship game in only three days.

A decent goal production from Alloa in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Alloa have allowed the opposition to score 10 goals here at Indodrill Stadium.
