FootyMAD's Forfar Athletic match preview

History of the Stranraer v Forfar Athletic fixture

Stranraer prepare to entertain Forfar Athletic at Stair Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Blues are clearly on top, having won 33 and lost only 10 of the 52 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stair Park was less than a year ago, in April 2007, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Scottish Division Two match.

Stranraer have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. A generous 13 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

The away form of Forfar Ath. is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the Loons have hit 5 goals, 22 have hit the back of the wrong net.
