Prediction

• Stirling Albion will want to control the ball for long periods, with their full-backs pushing high and creative midfielders pulling the strings.
• Stranraer’s gameplan is more about sitting deep and remaining compact, looking to make a nuisance at set-pieces and on the counter-attack.
• This is a stylistic clash that could play out as a chess match, and there’s likely to be plenty of testing for the defences.
• It could be close, but I’m siding with the side that is in the better form coming into the game, and that’s Stranraer.
• Home advantage and Aitken’s defensive setup could be enough for the Blues to edge out Stirling in a tight encounter.
