Albion Rvs. prepare to entertain Berwick Rangers at Cliftonhill on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 24 of the 53 previous games, with the Wee Rovers winning just 18.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Cliftonhill was just last season, in August 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in an Scottish Challenge Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Albion Rovers will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Wee Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Berwick Rgrs.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Borderers have hit 5 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Albion Rvs. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 3 games have yielded only 0 points. Berwick Rgrs. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Three, picking up 4 from their 3 games so far.

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
