Albion Rovers form and stats

With 1 League Two win, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Albion Rovers are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A strong away win for Albion Rovers against Elgin City the last match, as K. Doherty (2) and M. Aitken (2) were on target. Sensational by Albion last match, beating Elgin City away as big underdogs. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cowdenbeath that ended 0-0.

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?

Albion aren't scoring a lot here at The Reigart Stadium in the league, with only 6 goals from 8 games. Albion have conceded 13 from these games.
