Recent respective form guides

Arbroath's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Red Lichties have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Stenhousemuir's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Warriors have conceded 13 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.

Arbroath are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 36 points from 32 matches. Stenhousemuir find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 32 games have yielded only 21 points.
