Venue: Galabank (3000 seats)

Only a few games have been played in the League Two so far, with Annan Athletic placed 4th and Albion Rovers sitting in the 3rd position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Albion Rovers have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 4-2-7 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
