With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Stranraer fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Annan Athletic.
- Stranraer has the most dropped points from leading position (6) in League Two
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Annan Athletic have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 15-3-17 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.
