Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Wee Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.

Cowdenbeath's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Blue Brazil, and 7 goals against.

Albion Rvs. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 8 games have yielded only 5 points. Cowdenbeath's total of 15 points from their 8 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Bells Scottish Division Three.
