📏 Form Guide
Stranraer
DLWLDL
Stranraer will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-0 League Two defeat in their last game at the hands of Bonnyrigg Rose.
Kerr Young (24') and Callum Connolly (43') scored for Bonnyrigg Rose.
It’s been seldom in recent games where Stranraer have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Stranraer have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 8 goals along the way. Even so, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern shall continue on in this upcoming game.

Looking at their form, and Annan Athletic have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 12 goals in total. Defensively, Annan Athletic can certainly do much better.

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Stranraer gaffer to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Paul Woods (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out.
✨ Prediction
In our opinion, Stranraer will have to play well to hit the back of the net against this Annan Athletic team who we think should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We therefore fancy a very even match with a 0-1 win for Annan Athletic after 90 minutes.
Hoping for a good game.
