Recent respective form guides

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

Dunfermline A.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Pars's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 8 against.

Stirling Alb. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 10 games have yielded only 7 points. Dunfermline A.'s 12 points from 10 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
