We said: Stirling Albion 2-1 Forfar Athletic

We expect Stirling to be highly motivated to leapfrog Dumbarton at the top of the Scottish League Two table, and they will take confidence from thrashing Forfar 4-1 earlier in the season. We expect a tighter match this time around, but a home victory is clearly the most likely outcome. Read more.
