Recent respective form guides

Clyde's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bully Wee have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

East Stirlingshire's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Shire have hit 8 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Clyde see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 13 points from their 13 games played so far,

East Stirlingshire are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 12 matches.
