Recent respective form guides

Alloa Athletic's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Wasps have scored 13, a worringly large 20 have been leaked at the other end.

Ayr Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the Honest Men have hit 11 goals, 18 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Alloa Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 16 games have yielded only 10 points. Ayr Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 14 matches.
