This match features two teams living in the basement of the League One, Peterhead holding 8th place and Stranraer lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Peterhead form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Peterhead at their home stadium (Balmoor Stadium) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
In their previous game, the manager J. McInally led his Peterhead to a defeat in the League One match away at Forfar Athletic. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Balmoor Stadium. Heartbreak before that as Peterhead lost 0-1 at Raith Rovers's place.
Peterhead has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. From these home matches, Peterhead have conceded only 6 goals.
Stranraer form and stats
Stranraer, who have the most conceded goals (32) in League One, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the League One, after 0-2-6 (8 played). It's a growing despair in Stranraer as they have recorded three consecutive losses. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. Farrell, the Stranraer manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
M. Stewart was the last player to score for the away team. Stranraer haven't scored a league goal in the last 195 minutes.
Stranraer play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Falkirk (placed 3rd). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Cup.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Stranraer as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. Stranraer are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 7 goals in these matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Stranraer - Peterhead 1-2 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Peterhead won 4 games, 4 matches ended with a draw and Stranraer has 2 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 6 / 4Top Goalscorers
