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 5, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Montrose's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Gable Endies have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Albion Rvs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 22 points from 25 matches. Montrose see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 29 points from their 27 games played so far,

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
