Recent respective form guides

Alloa Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Wasps have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Morton's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The The 'Ton's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

Alloa Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 27 games have yielded only 17 points. Morton are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 56 points from 28 games.
