Albion Rovers form and stats
Albion Rovers have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the League Two were 1 victory, 4 draws and 9 defeats from 14 fixtures.

K. Doherty was the last player to score for the away team. Albion haven't scored a league goal in the last 181 minutes.
Albion Rovers might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Brechin City proved too strong as Albion Rovers slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at The Reigart Stadium. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Queen's Park's place.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Albion playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, one draw and three home wins.
After this away game Albion return home for a League Cup game against Annan Athletic. That game is only three sleeps after this.
