Season ticket holders at Islecroft Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Dalbeattie Star languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting East Stirlingshire will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

The visiting East Stirlingshire played their last game only three days ago, a Football League match. That game was also an away game, at Gala Fairydean Rovers. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary. That game was a home fixture for East Stirlingshire, against Gala Fairydean Rovers. But now it's all about beating Dalbeattie Star!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting East Stirlingshire have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-4-6 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
