Recent respective form guides

Stirling Albion's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Binos have scored 11, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Stirling Alb. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 16 games have yielded only 11 points. St. Johnstone are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 24 points from 17 games.
