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 20 of the 43 previous games, with the Binos winning just 14.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Forthbank Stadium was earlier this season, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division Two match.
