This week FootyMad's match preview focuses on the game between East Stirlingshire and Peterhead at 15:00 on Saturday 23rd October 2004 in the Scottish Division Three.
|
East Stirling prepare to entertain Peterhead at Firs Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 2 times from 8 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Firs Park was less than a year ago, in April 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
East Stirlingshire's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Shire have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Peterhead's away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Blue Toon, and 12 goals against.
East Stirling find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 10 games have yielded only 2 points. Peterhead are leading the way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, with their 10 games giving them a return of 28 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the The Shire at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Blue Toon come away with an easy victory. Away win
| Sequence statistics: | |
| East Stirling | Failed to win in previous 5 home matches. Not won in the 12 most recent games. |
| Peterhead | 5 successive away victories. 9 games since last away draw. Won each of the previous 4 matches. Last drawn game 5 outings ago. |
