This match features two teams living in the basement of the League Two, Queen's Park holding 7th place and Stenhousemuir lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This pitch has grass, which is not Stenhousemuir's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Stenhousemuir have performed like this: Played 32 matches resulting in 8 wins, 10 draws and 14 defeats with the goal stats 34-55 (scored/conceded).

Stenhousemuir form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Stenhousemuir so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Stenhousemuir who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Elgin City was the last time a defeat was avoided. Stenhousemuir seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Stenhousemuir failed to get anything from their last game, a League Two home match vs Stirling Albion (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 0-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cowdenbeath wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

Stenhousemuir are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of nine matches.

Stenhousemuir find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 9 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. Stenhousemuir have conceded 15 goals in these games.
