Alloa Ath. prepare to entertain Ayr United at Recreation Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 17 of the 37 previous games, with the Wasps winning just 9.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Park was just last season, in March 2003, with Ayr Utd. inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Wasps in a Scottish Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Alloa Ath. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Wasps will at least gain a draw. Score draw
