History of the Alloa Athletic v Greenock Morton fixture

Alloa Ath. prepare to entertain Greenock Morton at Recreation Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 15 of the 34 previous games, with the Wasps winning just 12.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Park was less than a year ago, in February 2004, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Alloa Athletic's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Wasps's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Morton's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The 'Ton have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Alloa Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 6 points from 7 matches. Morton see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Two, showing a record of 10 points from their 7 games played so far,
