Recent respective form guides

Stirling Albion's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Binos have scored 11, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Annan Athletic's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Black and Golds have hit 8 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stirling Albion find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 17 games have yielded only 14 points.

Annan Athletic lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 25 from their 18 games so far.
