Stranraer form and stats

Stranraer's struggle is real here at Stair Park with only 10 points collected from 11 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-5. All in all it has been a very rough period for Stranraer who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Clyde, 119 days ago. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

In their previous game, the manager S. Farrell led his Stranraer to a defeat in the League One match away at East Fife. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stair Park. 1-1 away at Forfar Athletic before that.

A goal frenzy last time out for Stranraer, with a total of 6 goals in the match against East Fife. Fun stuff to watch!

The Stranraer fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Stranraer defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
