Stranraer face a trip to Raith Rovers at Stark's Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 3 of the 24 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Raith Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Stranraer's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the The Blues have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Raith Rovers's total of 5 points from their 3 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Bells Scottish Division Two. Stranraer lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Two, picking up 4 from their 3 games so far.
