Recent respective form guides
East Stirlingshire's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Shire have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Stenhousemuir's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. While the Warriors have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
East Stirling lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 15 points from their 11 games so far. Stenhousemuir are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 11 matches.
