Recent respective form guides

Stranraer's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Blues have scored 4, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Alloa Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Wasps have hit 9 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stranraer are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 31 points from 31 matches. Alloa Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 34 points from 31 matches.
