The two teams at the bottom of Group F will go in search not only for their first points but also for their first goal of the tournament. The home team will be hoping to play better in front of their home fans as it is an away game they completely failed to win.

Free Betting Tips and Annan Athletic vs Albion Rovers Predictions
Annan Athletic to Win
The big winner of the four meetings between these two teams in the previous matchday was Anna Athletic. The Black and Golds Galabakies won 3 and drew 1.
Both teams have serious defensive problems and offensive deficiencies. Those first matches they were unable to hurt their opponents. The only difference in this match will be Anna Athletic’s home advantage, so I think the host will take all 3 points.
Over 2.5 Goals
One of the characteristics of recent meetings between these two clubs is that there is usually a high number of goals. In fact, in five of the last six meetings there have been more than 2.5 goals.
The Black and Golds Galabakies’ last few matches have also seen more than 2.5 goals. My second Annan Athletic vs Albion Rovers prediction is that we will see at least 3 goals in this Group F clash.
Both Teams to Score
Despite the dominance of the home team in recent head-to-head meetings, both teams have generally scored. In fact in five of the last seven h2h, we saw BTTS. The defence of both teams has been fragile at the start of the season so it wouldn’t be unusual if neither can keep a clean sheet.
Annan Athletic vs Albion Rovers Match Preview and Latest Team News
Annan Athletic
After two games, the Black and Gold Galabakies have yet to pick up a point. They have allowed a huge number of goals in both matches. They were defeated 3-0 by Kilmarnock.
In their most recent match, Annan Athletic conceded a couple of goals in the first half and another couple in the second. Dunfermline, the current group leaders, were their opponents. One of Peter Murphy’s team’s debts is that they have yet to score their first goal of the tournament.
Albion Rovers
The Wee Rovers began the group stage with a thrashing at the hands of Raith Rovers. Coach Sandy Clark chose a defensive tactic to keep a clean sheet, which worked well in the first half and for the first 30 minutes of the second half.
Raith Rovers, on the other hand, did not stop attacking and scored in the 76th minute. Albion Rovers’ attempts to equalize were futile, and things became worse when Conor Duffy scored an own goal in the 92nd minute. The final score was 2-0, and they now have 0 points in fourth position in Group F.
