Stenhousemuir
DLLLWD
Stenhousemuir go into this game coming off the back of a 1-1 League Two tied result versus East Fife.
The only scorer from Stenhousemuir was Matty Yates (61'). Alan Trouten (15') scored for East Fife.
It’s been seldom in recent games where Stenhousemuir have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Stenhousemuir have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 10 goals on the way. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be continued here, though.
