Recent respective form guides

Stranraer need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While The Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Dundee's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Dees have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stranraer are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 16 matches. Dundee see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 23 points from their 16 games played so far,
