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 The Shire have scored 7, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Cowdenbeath's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.
