Alloa Athletic form and stats

There's been little loot from Alloa Athletic's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the League One. Alloa Athletic only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. Recent form does not give Alloa much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Montrose will be a tough nut to crack.

A 0-3 defeat away at Cove Rangers before that.

In the opposite end, Alloa have conceded 18 goals in their away games. Alloa Athletic has visited these top teams three times, and 3 of 3 has ended with 2 goals or more!
