Kelty Hearts secured a 2-1 victory against Alloa Athletic in their Scottish League One match at New Central Park. Kelty Hearts, playing in a 4-3-3 formation, demonstrated attacking prowess, converting nine of their twelve shots into shots on target, while Alloa Athletic, who favored a 3-4-1-2 setup, struggled to find the net consistently, only managing three shots on target from eleven attempts. The home side took an early lead with goals from Craig Johnston and Robbie Cole in the 23rd and 26th minutes respectively, establishing a strong position. Luke Rankin pulled one back for Alloa just before halftime, but Kelty Hearts managed to hold on to their lead despite Alloa's slightly higher possession of 53%. The AI had predicted an Alloa Athletic win, making this result an upset considering Alloa's higher team rate (0.499) compared to Kelty Hearts (0.389) and the predicted win probabilities. Kelty's win breaks a negative trend in recent games at home, where they suffered heavy losses like 0-6 against Dumbarton, while Alloa came into this match with a recent home win against Montrose (2-1). Prior head-to-head matches also favored Alloa Athletic, winning the last three encounters before this game. This victory could be a turning point for Kelty Hearts, potentially boosting their confidence for upcoming matches, while Alloa Athletic might need to reassess their approach after failing to capitalize on their predicted advantage. Kelty Hearts's next games will be crucial to see if they can maintain the form that secured them this win, while Alloa Athletic will need to regroup and address their finishing in front of goal to bounce back stronger.
