Peterhead vs Alloa tips and predictions

Peterhead huge price to see off Alloa

As the away side, Alloa are heavily favoured in the betting but they'll do well to keep Peterhead pinned down. Don't bank on it. Ordinarily when these sides get underway they're bound to provide several goals.

The home side isn't expected to win but all things considered, they represent the value.

Peterhead will have taken notes from Alloa's vulnerabilities in their recent results. The visitors come into the match with 3 losses from their last 4 away campaigns. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

So it's not an open goal of a match for them.

Peterhead should expect extended periods of play without possession. If the hosts really get this done it will be due to the confidence they gained during their recent goal spree. They have scored at least once in all of their recent 3 home matches.

When tested away from home Alloa have conceded at least once in 17 of their last 20 matches. Further, there could be signs that their potency has taken a dip. Goal scoring chances away from their own turf have proved elusive for the visitors. They've been goalless in 3 of their last 4 away matches.

Peterhead have won 4 of the last 9 fixtures between these sides previously.

So, if the home team is to pull off the upset, it is crucial that they take their chances. Their finishing has been imperious in several of their recent outings. It will be what is required if they expect to do the impossible and somehow deny the visitors.

Note that Alloa will want to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. In which case the BTTS No bet is the most compelling side bet.
