Recent respective form guides
Raith Rovers need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Rovers have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Stirling Alb.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Binos's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Raith Rovers are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 11 matches. Stirling Alb. are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 20 points from 11 games.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Rovers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Binos come away with an easy victory. Away win
