Peterhead face a trip to East Stirlingshire at Firs Park on Saturday evening, looking to further improve upon a decent past record there. So far, the Blue Toon have beating their opponents 4 times from 7 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

East Stirlingshire could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While Shire have scored 8, a worringly large 19 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterhead's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Blue Toon's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

East Stirling find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 30 games have yielded only 5 points. Peterhead are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 51 points from 30 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Not a lot has been going right generally for Peterhead on their travels as of late, but I can certainly see them gleaning a point from their game against East Stirling. Score draw
