Alloa Athletic
- Alloa Athletic have the home advantage but have failed to win in their last 5 matches (D2, L3).
- Alloa Athletic have won 4, drawn 4, and lost 2 at home this season, averaging 1.20 goals per home match.
- Alloa Athletic sit fourth in League One 2025-2026 after 20 games played, with 30 points.
Montrose
- Stewart Petrie’s Montrose side are in a strong spell of form, having won 3, drawn 1, and lost just 1 of their last 5 League One games.
- Montrose, on the other hand, are 8th having amassed 24 points from 19 games.
- Geddies’ away form in League One 2025/2026 has seen them win 2, draw 3 and lose 4 of their 9 games played away from home.
Head-to-Head
Both teams have split their last 2 head-to-head meetings, with Alloa thumping Montrose 4-0 away just 8 weeks ago in League One 2025/2026.
Key Players
- David Devine is Alloa’s top scorer in the league with 4 goals from 18 appearances and he is their focal point in the forward line.
- Blair Lyons has provided Montrose with a spark of quality in recent games, scoring 2 of their last 4 goals in their previous 4 matches, and he could make all the difference again on Saturday.
Betting Insights
- The bookies have Alloa in at 1.75 for the win here while Montrose are priced as 4.48 underdogs, but given the home team’s wobbly form and Montrose’s recent upturn, an upset could be on the cards.
- Under 2.5 goals is a solid bet at 1.73 for this matchup as both sides prioritize structure over everything else.
Prediction
Alloa will be desperate to avenge that result and have the advantage of home field, but Montrose have played extremely well in their recent 5 games and I’m backing them to hold firm in this one.
