Albion Rvs. prepare to entertain Arbroath at Cliftonhill on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 26 of the 66 previous games, with the Wee Rovers winning just 25.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Cliftonhill was less than a year ago, in December 2004, with Arbroath inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Wee Rovers in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Albion Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Wee Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 18 have been leaked at the other end.
Arbroath's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the Red Lichties have hit 11 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Albion Rvs. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Wee Rovers will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
