Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Wee Rovers have scored 9, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.

Cowdenbeath's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Bankies's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 11 goals for and 10 against.

Albion Rvs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 17 matches. Cowdenbeath's 21 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
