MORTON- ALLOA ...... early weekend pick


I very strongly suggest that we oppose Alloa again this weekend.

Their squad is severely stretched by injuries and tiredness, this will be their 4th game in 11 days. In one game they played 75 minutes with 10 men and the last, went to extra time, remember these guys are part timers and it's work the next day for many of them.

They travel to meet Morton, who are very unlucky to still be playing Division 2 football, having just missed out in recent seasons. Last year they finished 2nd with 70 points, a record haul for them and 13 more than the 3rd placed club, yet lost out in the playoffs, they are determined to go one better this season.

Morton are yet to concede a goal and having hit the top of the league, are looking to stay there. They have a young talented team, that look to have improved with another year under their belts. The former Alloa player, Jamie Stevenson, looks very promising, he was snapped up by Mallorca and should be playing in La Liga, but could not settle in Spain, he is sure to move on to bigger things eventually.

The home side have won this fixture very easily in recent years, last 3 starts were 4-1, 5-2,
2-0, something similar looks on the cards this weekend.

4 points Morton -1.25 goals asian line 1.85.

Good Luck.
