Recent respective form guides

Stranraer's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Blues have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Albion Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Wee Rovers have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stranraer see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 23 points from their 20 games played so far, Albion Rvs. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 23 from their 19 games so far.
