Peterhead are impatient to add to their goals scored at their own stadium in the upcoming match hosting Alloa Athletic.

Insights:
  • All of Alloa Athletic's away-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Alloa Athletic have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-9-16 (win-draw-loss) from 30 matches.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Peterhead form and stats

Peterhead have played 11 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). When Peterhead hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like East Fife, Peterhead and Dumbarton), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Peterhead travelled for their previous game, a trip to East Fife that ended 0-0.

Peterhead are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. Peterhead have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Alloa Athletic form and stats

Alloa Athletic have only collected 10 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-4-6 (12 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Alloa Athletic, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Airdrieonians game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

There might be some fixture complaints from Alloa Athletic as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-2 against Clyde.

After this away game Alloa Athletic return home for a League One game against Falkirk. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Alloa Athletic have scored 14 goals in 12 league games away. In the opposite end, Alloa Athletic have conceded 21 goals in their away games.
