Insights:
  • Stranraer have the the worst goal difference (-6) in League Two
  • Stenhousemuir have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their matches.

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Stenhousemuir 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 9-9-11 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.

Stranraer form and stats

Stranraer have played three League Two home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Game days at Stair Park have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Stranraer as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The Stranraer crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Edinburgh City here at Stair Park in a League Two match.

Ahead of that match, Stranraer lost 0-2 at home to Partick Thistle.

The lack of attacking qualities in Stranraer means that they have only scored 0 goals in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Stranraer with 7 goals conceded in these matches.
