Recent respective form guides

East Stirlingshire could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! The Shire have conceded a disappointing 15 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 0 of their own chances.

Albion Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Wee Rovers's have scored 10 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

East Stirling are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 22 matches. Albion Rvs. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Three, picking up 37 from their 25 games so far.
