Recent respective form guides

East Stirlingshire's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Shire have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Albion Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Wee Rovers have hit 8 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

East Stirling find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 15 games have yielded only 5 points. Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 16 points from their 16 games played so far,
