Stranraer

LWDLDL

Stranraer will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 3-1 League Two loss in their previous game against Edinburgh City.

The only name on the scoresheet from Stranraer was Matty Yates (53'). John Robertson (22', 40') and James Hilton (90') scored for Edinburgh City.

It has not been often in recent games that Stranraer have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Stranraer have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals in the process. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, however.

Heading into this contest, Stranraer have not emerged victorious against Elgin City in their previous 4 matches in the league.
