Recent respective form guides
Berwick Rangers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Borderers have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Annan Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Black and Golds have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.
