Recent respective form guides

Stranraer's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Blues have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Saints's have scored 10 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Stranraer see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 8 points from their 7 games played so far, St. Johnstone's 11 points from 7 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position.
