History of the East Stirlingshire v Montrose fixture

East Stirling prepare to entertain Montrose at Firs Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Shire are clearly on top, winning 51.56% 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 February 2005, with Montrose inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the The Shire in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

East Stirlingshire's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While The Shire have scored 6, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Montrose's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Gable Endies have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

East Stirling are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 4 matches. Montrose see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 4 points from their 4 games played so far,

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 The Shire will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
East Stirling 14 games since last home draw.
Not drawn a match in their last 16 .
Montrose Not won in previous 4 away matches.
Last drawn game 5 outings ago.
