Recent respective form guides

Berwick Rangers's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Borderers have scored 10, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

East Stirling's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The The Shire's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Berwick Rgrs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 21 points from 21 matches. East Stirling lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 30 from their 20 games so far.

Its been a distinctly poor show from Berwick Rgrs. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Borderers will at least gain a draw. Score draw
