An important duel in the bottom section of the Championship, with both Greenock Morton and Alloa Athletic experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 10th place.
- Greenock Morton have the fewest scored goals (21) in Championship
- Alloa Athletic have the most conceded goals (59) in Championship
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Championship match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Hearts, was also a home game here at Cappielow Park. The away team is better rested.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Alloa Athletic's home stadium. The visitors last 35 games on grass have ended in 5 wins, 9 draws and 21 losses.
Greenock Morton form and stats
4-4-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Greenock Morton, who have the fewest scored goals (21) in Championship, so far this season.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Greenock, who played 0-0 against Hearts. That match was also played at this venue (Cappielow Park). A 1-1 draw away in the Scottish Cup before that, with Motherwell (after extra-time, 5-3 on penalties) the opponent.
The Greenock Morton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. Greenock have conceded 17 in these home matches.
Alloa Athletic form and stats
There's been little loot from Alloa Athletic's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 12 away games in the Championship. Alloa Athletic, who have the most conceded goals (59) in Championship, only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. Three has not been a lucky number for Alloa Athletic as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Ayr United match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Alloa have lost on their last two travels.
The manager P. Grant was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground Indodrill Stadium. Alloa Athletic suffered a 1-2 loss to Raith Rovers (placed 2nd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hearts wasn't a success with a 0-6 loss.
The visitors have scored 11 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Alloa are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 11 goals in these matches.
