Stranraer play host to Ross County at Stair Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the The Blues have drawn one game and lost the other.
The last time the two teams met at Stranraer was back in February 2000, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Stranraer's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While The Blues have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Ross County's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The County's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 5 against.
Stranraer are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 12 matches. Ross County's 20 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position.
