Montrose shared the glory with Cove Rangers in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1.
Ahead of that match, Montrose won a home game hosting Stirling Albion (1-0).This is expected to be a close game, with Montrose perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Montrose as a small favourite), we find four games. Montrose has won three of these, drawn zero and lost one.
Montrose has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Montrose have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Alloa Athletic form and stats
It's not happening yet for Alloa Athletic on their League One travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Alloa's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Alloa Athletic are travelling again after losing away to Airdrieonians in their previous match (1-2).
A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Falkirk.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Alloa Athletic playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Alloa win, one draw and two defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Alloa as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The Alloa manager B. Ferguson has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
