Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Wee Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Stranraer's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. Those games have seen the The Blues pummel 12 goals, and let in 5.

Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 31 points from their 29 games played so far, Stranraer are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 48 points from 29 games.
