Albion Rovers thrashed league-leaders Dumbarton in their last outing at Dumbarton Football Stadium courtesy of a brace each from Joe Bevan and Charlie Reily, and one goal from Callum Wilson, while the Sons pulled one back through Ayrton Sorkur’s 89th-minute own goal. It was the Wee Rovers’ eighth fourth tier victory of the season. Meanwhile Albion Rovers’ home-form this season has not been very great, collecting just nine points from a possible 39 at Exsel Group Stadium. Brian Reid’s side’s latest of the three home-wins this term came against Elgin City (3-0) on February 22, thanks to Charlie Reilly’s second-half brace and Ayrton Sorkur’s 64th-minute effort. On a positive not, the previous meeting between against Stranraer on January 14 ended 4-0 in favour of Albion Rovers, courtesy of Reilly’s brace, and one goal each from Jose Bevan and Callum Wilson.
Stranraer, on the other hand, have lost nine of their 13 league-games on the road this season so far. The Blues have recorded just two away-wins in the fourth tier this term and the latest of those triumphs came against Elgin City on February 18 at Borough Briggs, courtesy of Scott Robertson’s lone goal inside the opening 22 minutes. Last Saturday, Jamie Hamill’s side came from behind to earn a point against title-challengers Stirling Albion at Stair Park, thanks to Robertson’s 73rd-minute equaliser.
Albion Rovers Probable Lineup: Leighfield, McColl, Fagan, Sonkur, Fernie, Fleming, Reilly, Roberts, Leslie, Wilson, Bevan
