It's early days in the League Two and both Stranraer and Queen's Park are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
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.
Stranraer form and stats
Stranraer's first League Two home game here at Stair Park ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 12 matches. All in all it has been a very rough period for Stranraer who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 17 attempts. Their previous win was against Clyde, 364 days ago. With seven home League Two games in a row without a win, the Stranraer fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Clyde game long ago, can be stopped today.
Stranraer manager S. Farrell and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Annan Athletic (placed 2nd) in the League Two. Ahead of that match, Stranraer lost 1-4 at home to Elgin City.
Stranraer has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 4 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Queen's Park form and stats
One match played away so far in the League Two for Queen's Park and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses from 14 games.
499 minutes! That's how long the Queen's goalkeeper William Muir and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
The supporters enjoyed Queen's's previous game versus Albion Rovers (placed 9th), a League Two 2-0 win played at home. A 0-0 draw at Stirling Albion's stadium before that.
It's early days yet, but Queen's Park has scored 0 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Stranraer three wins, four draws and Queen's Park three victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Stranraer missing players
