Scottish Football

Annan Athletic to beat Albion Rovers 10/11
You may not have heard of one or either of these teams, but that means the bookies probably only know them by name and stats and have never seen them play. But my Scottish lower league mole is much better genned up on this and assures me Annan would be value at half this price. Annan replaced Gretna in the Scottish league this season and have made a good fist of their first season, currently lying 4 points off second place and on a very good run of late. They have won 6 of their last 8 games, and their last three games have brought three wins and 11 goals, including wins over second-placed Dumbarton and more impressively, runaway leaders Cowdenbeath. Albion on the other hand, have not won any of their last 5 games and in doing so have blown their promotion chances for this season. Their away form was impressive early on, but they now haven't scored on their travels for three games, and it looks difficult to see the Wee Rovers turning that around in Dumfries tomorrow.
