Recent respective form guides
Queens Park's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Spiders have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of East Stirling is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the The Shire have hit 4 goals, 18 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Queens Park's total of 7 points from their 5 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Bells Scottish Division Three. East Stirling are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 4 points from 5 matches.
