Stranraer prepare to entertain Raith Rovers at Stair Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning 25.93 of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stair Park was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Stranraer's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While The Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 20 have been leaked at the other end.
Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Rovers, and 6 goals against.
Stranraer find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 30 games have yielded only 13 points. Raith Rovers are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 60 points from 30 games.
