Alloa Athletic vs St Johnstone match preview

St Johnstone kick off bottom of Group A, something they very much need to address in Clackmannanshire.

Last weekend, the Saints began the new season with a defeat, beaten 1-0 by League Two side Stenhousemuir at Ochilview Park.

This is a pretty embarrassing defeat for the Premiership side, leaving manager Steven MacLean under pressure immediately.

In the context of this group, eight points are usually required to see a team advance so, with just nine points left to play for, St Johnstone simply have to win here.

Alloa Athletic are also yet to get off the mark in the League Cup, beaten 2-1 by rivals Stirling Albion on Tuesday.

So, can the Wasps sting the Saints at the Recreation Grounds?
