Performing as the host team in the previous season Albion Rovers generated 5-5-8 (win-draw-lost) with 17 goals and 26 conceded.

Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Albion Rovers as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Albion Rovers has won 2 of these, drawn 4 and lost 4.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Celtic II are coming to town in three days.
