Recent respective form guides
Stirling Albion's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Binos have scored 11, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
East Stirlingshire's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Shire have hit 9 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Stirling Albion find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 19 games have yielded only 14 points.
East Stirlingshire are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 21 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Stirling Albion at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Binos will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
