Recent respective form guides

East Stirlingshire could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While Shire have scored 6, a worringly large 18 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 4 goals, 16 have hit the back of the wrong net.

East Stirling find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 32 games have yielded only 5 points. Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 34 points from their 32 games played so far,
