Stowe has a hot hand for Spartans
There is plenty of extra edge to this clash with the hosts going through a change of coach and both teams seeking momentum in the run-in. Alan Maybury has been in charge of Albion since June and has brought a more pragmatic, direct style of play that focuses on set pieces, wide deliveries and aerial duels in the box.
Spartans are a flexible team that can play patient, possession-based football but can also go direct when they need to. They can be hard to contain with their wide combination play and in Mark Stowe, who has 20 goals in 35 League Two appearances, have a dangerous finisher up front.
Stowe has scored three of his side’s last eight goals and looks the most likely goalscorer for Spartans against an Albion side that are likely to put men behind the ball and defend in numbers. Russell McLean, who has bagged 13 in 29 League Two appearances for the Bins, is Stirling’s main threat.
Stirling lack cutting edge up front
