Albion Rovers form and stats

Albion Rovers have played three League Two home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Game days at The Reigart Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Albion as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Albion Rovers faced defeat in their previous match, away at Edinburgh City (2-5). Preceding that match was the home game against Stirling Albion that was lost 0-1.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The lack of attacking qualities in Albion Rovers means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Albion have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.
