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.

Berwick Rgrs.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Borderers's have scored 12 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 13.

Stranraer see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 23 points from their 21 games played so far, Berwick Rgrs.'s total of 37 points from their 25 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Irn Bru Scottish Division Three.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Stranraer at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Blues will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
