Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Stenhousemuir & Alloa Athletic face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Stenhousemuir and Alloa Athletic.
Stenhousemuir form and stats
Last season, Stenhousemuir's League Cup journey ended in the group stage.Stenhousemuir have played 18 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-7-5 (wins-draws-losses).
The followers hope that Stenhousemuir will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away defeat in the League Cup fixture against Stirling Albion.
Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against Ayr United in the League Cup.
The Stenhousemuir fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 26 in 18 matches. Stenhousemuir have conceded 24 in these home matches.
Alloa Athletic form and stats
They also participated in League Cup last season. This ended in the group stage.7 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Alloa Athletic playing as the away team in the League One this season.
This game can not go any worse than the previous one, a League Cup home loss versus St. Johnstone with 0-4 on the scoreboard.
The match before that was the League Cup-duel against Stirling Albion, a home loss (1-2).
The schedule is very tough for Alloa Athletic now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Cup game at Ayr United is waiting in only four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Alloa have scored 25 goals in 18 league games away. As opposed to that, Alloa Athletic have seen the ball go into their own net 24 times on the road.
