Recent respective form guides
East Stirlingshire's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Shire have scored 8, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Queens Park's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. The Spiders have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.
East Stirling lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 4 points from their 3 games so far. Queens Park lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 4 from their 3 games 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. Score draw
