Alloa Athletic come into this one in decent shape, having won three of their last five games, though they did take a heavy loss in one of them. Montrose have also won two of their last five, with one draw and two defeats, so both teams are reasonably competitive but neither is on a perfect run. Their only recent meeting went Montrose's way by a clear scoreline, so Alloa will be looking to put that right at home.

The match looks fairly close on paper, but Montrose have shown they can score freely when things click, and they got the better of Alloa the last time the two sides met. Home advantage should keep Alloa in it, but Montrose look the slightly stronger side right now, so expect a tight game that Montrose could edge.
