Recent respective form guides

Stirling Albion's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Binos have scored 6, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Ross County's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. County have conceded 6 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Stirling Alb. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 22 games have yielded only 14 points. Ross County are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 22 matches.
