Recent respective form guides
East Stirlingshire need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While The Shire have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Queens Park's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Spiders have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
East Stirling find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 19 games have yielded only 8 points. Queens Park are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 27 points from 21 games.
