History of the East Stirlingshire v Peterhead fixture

Peterhead face a trip to East Stirlingshire at Firs Park on Saturday evening, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. Only 2 defeats have been registered in the 6 games, with 3 ending in victory.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

East Stirlingshire's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Shire have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterhead's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

East Stirling find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 5 points. Peterhead's 20 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
