Recent respective form guides

Stranraer's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Montrose's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Gable Endies's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Stranraer see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 16 points from their 16 games played so far, Montrose find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 17 games have yielded only 6 points.

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
