Wednesday night`s match in Stranraer is a play off game and it is no surprise when these matches don`t go on past experiences but current form can be a big pointer. Neither side has exactly finished their league campaign strongly. Stranraer`s crucial win over Forfar followed a run of nine matches without one. Dunfermline have only done one better with two wins from their last ten games but are unbeaten in their last four.
