East Stirling prepare to entertain Montrose at Firs Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Shire are clearly on top, winning 55% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Firs Park was less than a year ago, in March 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
East Stirlingshire's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Shire have conceded a disappointing 17 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.
Montrose's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Gable Endies's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
East Stirling find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 1 games have yielded only 0 points. Montrose are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 0 points from 1 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from East Stirling at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Shire will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
