Stenhousemuir prepare to entertain East Stirlingshire at Ochilview Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Warriors are clearly on top, having won 37 and lost only 17 of the 71 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ochilview Park was earlier this season, with Stenhousemuir running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Stenhousemuir's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Warriors have scored 9, a worringly large 18 have been leaked at the other end.
East Stirling's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the The Shire have hit 6 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Stenhousemuir see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 33 points from their 25 games played so far, East Stirling are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 20 points from 24 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Stenhousemuir at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Warriors will at least gain a draw. Score draw
