Recent respective form guides

Stenhousemuir will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Warriors have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Forfar Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the Loons have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stenhousemuir lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 42 points from their 34 games so far. Forfar Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 32 points from 34 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Stenhousemuir at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Warriors will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
