Recent respective form guides
Stranraer's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While The Blues have scored 4, a worringly large 19 have been leaked at the other end.
Arbroath's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. The The Red Lichties's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.
Stranraer find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 21 games have yielded only 12 points. Arbroath are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 21 points from 22 matches.
