East Stirling face a trip to Cowdenbeath at Central Park on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Shire will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, the Bankies carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Division Three match.
