Re: Weekend > Scottish Divsions 1-3 > 28 January Fixture: Alloa Athletic v Montrose Selection: Alloa Strength: 8/10 Date: 28/01/2012 Bookmaker/Price: Coral - 4/7 (1.57) , Ladbrokes - 4/9 (1.44) Reasoning: Alloa not lost a home game all season, 2nd best home defence in league keeping a clean sheet in 44% of their home games. Won 67% of games at home and kept 3 clean sheets in a row at home in past 3 home games. Current Form: W-D-L, (Goals F-A) Full: 5-1-0, (14-3) Home: 4-2-0, (8-2) Away: 3-3-0, (12-5) Alloa have won their last 4 games and are unbeaten in their last 12 matches! They have only conceded 1 goal since boxing day! More impressive is they have scored 11 goals in their past 4 games (nearly 3 goals per game). Montrose have the 2nd worst away defence in the league conceding 2.36 goals per game. Not kept a clean sheet away from home this year. Leaked 12 goals in past 6 games. 16 goals conceded in past 6 away matches, +3.0 per game. Not beaten a top 4 side all season. Current Form: W-D-L, (Goals F-A) Full: 2-1-3, (12-12) Home: 3-1-2, (13-11) Away: 1-2-3, (12-16) Stats speak for themselves, Montrose managed a freak 4-0 win over Clyde two weeks ago but this team is very poor and leak goals left, right and centre. They do tend to score goals, scoring at least 1 goal in their past 16 matches. Working fair odds out on basis of this season results I get the following odds: Home Win = 1.69 Draw = 4.4 Away Win = 5.5 Best odds available at posting are 1.6 (3/5) at 188BET. Might not be any value in the bet but to me this looks like a banker! GL

Re: Weekend > Scottish Divsions 1-3 > 28 January Fixture: Cowdenbeath v Albion Rovers Selection: Cowdenbeath Strength: 9/10 Date: 28/01/2012 Bookmaker/Price: Various 4/9 (1.5) Reasoning: Cowdenbeath won 80% of home games and yet to lost a home game this season! Kept a clean sheet in 60% of their home matches, averaging at 0.5 goals conceded at home per game. Best defence in league. Score on average +2.0 goals per game at home. Current Form: W-D-L, (Goals F-A) Full: 3-2-1, (11-4) Home: 4-2-0, (11-1) Away: 2-2-2, (9-7) Freak result away to Forfar last time but what is encouraging is only conceding 4 goals in their last 6 games, 1 goal leaked in past 6 home matches. Unbeaten in last 10 home games! Albion Rovers worst away defence in league which is a shocker considering my local team Stirling Albion are in the league! Lost 73% of their away games, conceding 2.64 goals per game away from home. 73% of their away games have 3 or more goals! Current Form: W-D-L, (Goals F-A) Full: 1-0-5, (4-12) Home: 3-1-2, (14-8) Away: 2-0-4, (7-13) Lost their last 5 games and lost their last 4 away matches. Stats show they’ve leaked 12 goals in past 6 matches! Only scored 1 goal in their past 5 games. Cowdenbeath will be looking for the win to keep safe distance at top and Albion Rovers are in freefall at the moment. Working fair odds out on basis of this season results I get the following odds: Home Win = 1.31 Draw = 7.0 Away Win = 10.5 Best odds available at posting are 1.5 (4/9) at various bookmakers I expect odds to shorten and 4/9 this should be taken ASAP!!!!

Re: Weekend > Scottish Divsions 1-3 > 28 January East Fife worth looking at away to Stenhousemuir. 3rd placed Stenhousemuir are absolutely down to the bare bones. A number of key players injured (including both centre halves I'm lead to believe) couple that with the fact they have lost their last four games confidence is very low. I have seen the past two home games and they shipping goals at an alarming rate.

Medium risk bet but agree with your thinking, Stenny are very poor at the moment! Might be worth DNB on East Fife just to cover yourself! Are you a Tryst road car parker?

Re: Weekend > Scottish Divsions 1-3 > 28 January The thing is, Stenny are solid at home but shocking on the road. I can't go against them here despite their problems. Alloa look a certainly, even more so back the fact Montrose lost 3-1 at lowlu East Stirling last week. Cowdenbeath look just as safe although I don't like backing a team coming off a loss. Albion are poor on the road and heavily exposed at Arbroath last week. Oxford, Alloa and Reading is my treble for tomorrow

Re: Weekend > Scottish Divsions 1-3 > 28 January It was Stenny's home form that had carried them to where they were but even there home form looks to have gone now. They were well beaten off Cowdenbeath over Xmas and they absolutely sold the jerseys two weeks ago against Forfar who hadn't won a league game since September. Defensively they have been all over the place in the last four or five games. They have goals in them in Andy Rodgers and Stewart Kean but they are not getting the service. I suppose the main factor is which East Fife turn up. They are highly unpredictable. On their day a real attacking force as a couple of SPL sides have found to the cost.

Re: Weekend > Scottish Divsions 1-3 > 28 January Cowdenbeath -1AH @ 1.725....bet366....stakes2/10....I know this isn't rocket science but this one has made it past my shortlist on a quiet weekend where I think the crookies have done a good job.As mentioned by banjo Cowdenbeath are good at home and the stats are quoted above.They have only conceded 5 times at home this season and ran Hibs a close 2-3 in the cup. Stirling are poor travellers and will make the journey today without a few first teamers.Stevenson and Gemell are suspended and Russell is out injured.They will carry out late fitness tests on their goalkeeper Gaston and Reid. I think with these absences for the away side that the home team has a chance to overcome the handicap....
