Stirling Alb. face a trip to Greenock Morton at Cappielow Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Binos will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 4 of the 34 games.

Recent respective form guides

Greenock Morton's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While The 'Ton have scored 5, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Stirling Alb.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Binos have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Morton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 24 points from 26 matches. Stirling Alb. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 26 games have yielded only 19 points.
