Alloa Athletic manager looks ahead to Airdrie United v Clyde
I think it'll be close, very close.
Airdrie have been perhaps one of the best footballing sides we've played this year and are possibly a better football side than Clyde. They've got good players, they like to get the ball down and pass it.

However, I was really impressed with Clyde. They showed great energy, particularly in the second game against us. They're fighting spirit was fantastic. They've got the experience of Jorg Albertz and Gary McSweegan to look to.
I don't think the tie will be decided in the first leg at all. It's going to go all the way.
I think there will be quite a lot of goals over the two games and somewhere in there, I suspect that Airdrie might squeeze it on a single goal.

East Fife manager previews Arbroath v Stranraer
It is a very difficulty one to call.
Arbroath are a fairly physical side. They tend to rely on a lot of strength and power but they can play football as well. John McGlashan and Robbie Raeside will have them really fired up.

Stranraer are a different side, they like to pass the ball. They have some match-winners in Gregory Tade and Andy Gibson.
Arbroath's home form isn't very good and Stranraer's away form is decent so I would expect possibly a draw at Gayfield.
But down at Stranraer, Arbroath's away form is good so I would go with them.
