Stranraer prepare to entertain Annan Athletic at Stair Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The The Blues have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stair Park was less than a year ago, in March 2010, as the The Blues squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Scottish Division Three match.
