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 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Forfar 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 43 points from their 28 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Irn Bru Scottish Division Three. Forfar Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 38 from their 25 games so far.
