With their 3 point advantage in the league table, Stenhousemuir fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Queen's Park.
Stenhousemuir have less rest than Queen's Park in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a League Two game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Edinburgh City.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Queen's Park have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-7-8 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.

Stenhousemuir were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
