Automatic Promotion challengers Stirling Albion will host Forfar Athletic in a Scottish League Two fixture at Forthbank Stadium on Tuesday night. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Stranraer FC last weekend, while the Loons got the better of Annan Athletic 2-1. The Binos are currently occupying second spot in the Scottish fourth tier standings, having collected 52 points from 26 games, just one point adrift of leaders Dumbarton, who have played an extra match. The visitors meanwhile, are sitting at the sixth position, with 37 points to their name from 27 outings.

Since third-placed Annan Athletic are 12 points behind Stirling and having played three matches more than Darren Young side, it is safe to say that Stirling are embroiled in a two-horse race to lift the Scottish fourth tier title. Only the winner of the Scottish League Two will earn automatic promotion to the third tier, while the teams finishing second, third and fourth will take part in the playoffs. Stirling are in pretty good form, having not tasted defeat in their last ten outings, while winning six of those matches. Last time out, Young’s side shared the spoils against Stanraer FC at Stair Park despite taking the lead through Jack Leitch in the 41st-minute.
Forfar, on the other hand, ended their four-game winless streak last Saturday against Annan Athletic, thanks to Matthew Aitken’s eighth-minute penalty kick and Ben Armour’s winner six minutes from time. Ray McKinnon’s side have now recorded ten fourth tier wins this season. Forfar are just four points shy of fourth-placed East Fife, who have played two games more. Therefore, if the Loons secure a surprise win over Stirling on Tuesday, they can move to the fourth spot courtesy of a superior goal-difference over East Fife.
Stirling Albion Probable Lineup: Currie, McGheachie, Cummins, McLean, Duffy, Moore, Davidson, Leitch, Denholm,, Thomson, Carrick
Forfar Athletic Probable Lineup: McCallum, Naditi, Stewart,-Hutchinson, Munro, Brindley, Slater, Hutton, McCluskey, Ross, Aitken
