An important duel in the bottom section of the League Two, with both Stenhousemuir and Albion Rovers experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 8th place.
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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Albion Rovers have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-0-9 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
