Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Wee Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Montrose is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Gable Endies have hit 4 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 28 points from their 34 games played so far, Montrose are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 34 matches.
