Recent respective form guides

Stenhousemuir's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Warriors have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Annan Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Stenhousemuir's total of 52 points from their 34 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Irn Bru Scottish Division Three. Annan Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 50 from their 34 games so far.
