Recent respective form guides
Raith Rovers need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Rovers have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Alloa Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Wasps have hit 6 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Raith Rovers lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Two, picking up 9 points from their 7 games so far. Alloa Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 7 games have yielded only 4 points.
