Stranraer's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Blues have scored 8, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.
Arbroath's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Red Lichties's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 15 goals for and 13 against.
