Recent respective form guides
Stirling Albion's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Binos have scored 4, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Rovers, and 8 goals against.
Stirling Albion find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 32 games have yielded only 17 points.
Raith Rovers are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 57 points from 32 games.
