Recent respective form guides

East Stirlingshire's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Shire have scored 9, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Clyde's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Bully Wee have hit 6 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

East Stirlingshire find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 5 games have yielded only 3 points.

Clyde lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, picking up 9 from their 5 games so far.
