Annan Ath. prepare to entertain Albion Rovers at Galabank on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 5 previous games, with the Black and Golds winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Galabank was earlier this season, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Annan Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. A generous 13 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Albion Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. While the Wee Rovers have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Annan Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 31 points from their 19 games so far. Albion Rvs. are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 34 points from 20 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Annan Ath. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Black and Golds will at least gain a draw. Score draw
