The league leaders return to Ochilview tomorrow where they take on East Fife in the cinch league 2.
The warriors will be hoping to maintain their run of 6 victories in a row. Their most recent one came away at Dumbarton where Mikey Anders’s deflected shot of James Berry late on was enough to get the 3 points and extend the gap to 5 points at the summit of league 2.
Gary Naysmith said “I think they’ve been a bit up and down with their form recently. They’ve chopped and changed recently as you do when you haven’t been on a consistent run of victories, but we know that they will be a tough test.”
Edin Lynch emphasised the importance of tomorrow’s game saying “At the moment we’re in a good mindset. We just want to keep playing as soon as possible so we’re looking forward to it”
The warriors are on a great run of form at the moment being 11 games unbeaten in the league and keeping 4 clean sheets in a row.
The two sides met at the start of the season where Stenhousemuir ran out 2-0 victors with goals from Gregor Buchannan and Adam Brown late on.
East Fife come into the match off the back of an impressive 4-0 victory at home to Elgin last Saturday. They currently sit in 6th place on 16 points.
The visitors slightly edge the head-to-head record having 79 victories to Stenhousemuir’s 61. However, the warriors have more victories at Ochilview with 37 victories to East Fife’s 32.
Stenhousemuir will have to be weary of East Fife forward Nathan Austin who has 5 goals this season and will be a threat in and around the box.
