Recent respective form guides

Cowdenbeath need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Blue Brazil have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Alloa Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Wasps's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 8 against.

Cowdenbeath are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 0 points from 2 matches. Alloa Ath. are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 6 points from 2 games.
