Albion Rovers form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League Two this season. Albion Rovers, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in League Two, have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses from their games here at The Reigart Stadium.
The spoils were shared in Albion's previous game, also at home. Visiting Annan Athletic (placed 7th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Albion lost 1-2 at home to Edinburgh City.
Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Albion Rovers have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn one and lost two from three games. two defeats by at least two goals.
The manager B. Reid will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cowdenbeath in only four days.
Albion Rovers has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Albion have conceded 10 from these games.
Queen's Park form and stats
Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Queen's Park so far, with 5-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are League Two statistics. In general it has been a productive period now for Queen's as they haven't lost any of their last eleven games. A great winning streak in away games for Queen's as they have managed to win five matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Stirling Albion have they travelled home without three points.
The Queen's goalkeeper William Muir is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Two travels in a row for Queen's, whose manager R. McKinnon could celebrate last time after the League Two win against Brechin City. That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Stranraer.
