Stirling Alb. prepare to entertain Raith Rovers at Forthbank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 22 of the 48 previous games, with the Binos winning just 17.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Forthbank Stadium was just last season, in July 2009, the Binos carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Challenge Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Stirling Albion's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Binos have scored 7, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.
Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Stirling Alb. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 16 matches. Raith Rovers are leading the way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division One, with their 19 games giving them a return of 36 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Binos at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Rovers come away with an easy victory. Away win
