Recent respective form guides

Stranraer are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. While The Blues have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of St. Mirren however, is much more impressive, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. Just 6 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 1 have been let in at the wrong end.

Stranraer are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 34 matches. St. Mirren are leading the way in the Bells Scottish Division One, with their 34 games giving them a return of 73 points.
