Alloa Athletic host Morton. Morton hold fifth place in the Championship with 14 points. Alloa are ninth with 7. In their prior meeting at Cappielow October 17th Morton won 1 - 0.
If Morton keep up their current pace they will end the season with 42 points, 27 goals for and 36 goals allowed. 42 points would have put them in third place last season.
Morton have visited Alloa on league business 47 times over the decades, earning 21 wins, 10 draws, and 16 losses, with 91 goals for and 75 allowed.
Two Morton players are in self-isolation.
