Recent respective form guides

Stenhousemuir's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. Warriors have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

The away form of East Stirling is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! The Shire have conceded 17 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Stenhousemuir are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 3 points from 2 games. East Stirling are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 0 points from 2 matches.
