ℹ️ Team News: Spartans
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Spartans gaffer Dougie Samuel to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. 5 (Spartans) misses out.
ℹ️ Team News: Stranraer
Due to a mostly full-strength group of players, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Stranraer manager Chris Aitken to be concerned about. 7 (Stranraer) won’t be playing here.
🔮 Prediction
We feel that Spartans will likely get a couple of goals in this one when they meet Stranraer, who might well find it a difficult task getting goals.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning score for Spartans at the conclusion of the game.
