This match features two teams living in the basement of the League Two, Stenhousemuir holding 9th place and Stirling Albion lying 8th. 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 artificial turf, which is not Stirling Albion's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Stirling Albion have performed like this: Played 14 matches resulting in 0 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats with the goal stats 14-25 (scored/conceded).
Stenhousemuir form and stats
With 2 League Two wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Stenhousemuir, who have the most conceded goals (18) at home in League Two, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Stenhousemuir has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager D. Irons and the players.
In their previous game, the manager D. Irons led his Stenhousemuir to a defeat in the League Two match away at Cowdenbeath. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Ochilview Park. Heartbreak before that as Stenhousemuir lost 1-2 at Cove Rangers's place.
Stenhousemuir are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Stenhousemuir with 18 goals conceded in these matches.
Stirling Albion form and stats
Stirling Albion have only collected 6 points from their away games in the League Two, after 1-3-4 (8 played).

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Stirling Albion as they have only managed to score 5 times from 8 away games in the league. Stirling Albion have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
