Spartans FC
- Spartans FC sit second in League Two on 59 points from 32 games and are in the mix for promotion.
- Samuel’s side, who are unbeaten in their last five matches after drawing with Forfar Athletic and East Kilbride (1-1 each) and thrashing Edinburgh City 3-0 away, are great on the counter attack.
- Spartans’ home form has been strong, but not spectacular, with nine wins and four defeats in 16 games, but they can leverage that form, as well as their league position, to get the result in this one.
- Mark Stowe is the main goal threat this season with 18 in 32 League Two appearances.
Stranraer
- Stranraer are fifth on 40 points and still fighting for a play-off spot, after 32 games.
- Chris Aitken has made Stranraer a direct and physical side since he took charge of the club in October 2024, favoring wingers to get in behind defences as quickly as possible and creating chaos in the box.
- Lewis Reid has two goals in four games for Stranraer in their recent run of four.
- Deryn Lang has been their main threat in the league with nine in 26 matches.
