Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Wee Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Stenhousemuir'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 12 goals for the Warriors, and 8 goals against.

Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 9 points from their 7 games played so far, Stenhousemuir are leading the way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, with their 7 games giving them a return of 17 points.
