The Hogmany match between Alloa and Kelty should be an entertaining one if the Wasps’ previous home matches this season are anything to go by. Brian Reid’s side have played eight times at the Indodrill Stadium in the league this season and these matches have produced an incredible 32 goals. Indeed, only one of these games has failed to yield at least three.

Kelty, meanwhile, have seen 27 goals fly into the net in their nine away matches. Of these fixtures, only two have failed to provide at least 2.5 goals, with these coming against Edinburgh and Airdrie.

Their own attacking capacity should increase significantly in the weeks ahead thanks to the return of star striker Nathan Austin, who has missed the majority of the season with injury. He netted 17 times in 26 league matches last term and has been sorely missed. The fact that he was able to get 70 minutes against Dunfermline at the weekend is encouraging for the guests, who should be stronger going forward thanks to his return.

The Fife club are on a run that has seen seven of their last nine league matches produce over 2.5 goals, while Alloa have seen four of their last six hit this figure.

When the clubs met earlier this season in Clackmannanshire, the match ended 3-1 in Alloa’s favour, with the game open and chances at both ends. This is characteristic of the attacking style that home boss Brian Reid wants his side to play in and is liable to provide an attractive match for the fans here.
