Weekend preview

Alloa have been in decent form in League One and can maintain those standards by winning at Kelty Hearts.

Having already beaten the Hearts 2-1 at home this season, the Wasps will fancy their chances of landing decent odds.

They have won seven of their last ten matches, the only defeats in that period being against the top two, Dunfermline and Falkirk.

Kelty have certainly improved after a stumbling start to term but they have only scored 12 goals – half of Alloa's haul – and that puts them at an obvious disadvantage.

Down in the basement, Dumbarton haven't lost at home in the league since March during their relegation campaign out of League One.

That stands them in good stead to be able to see off ropey travellers Stranraer, who have played nine away matches in various competitions this term and haven't won any of them.

They snapped a three-game winless streak by beating Forfar 1-0 last Saturday but the Sons are a step up.

Stirling, meanwhile, are on the kind of run that threatens to make light work of this section and have to be fancied at Albion, who haven't kept a clean sheet in nine.
