Stranraer vs Annan Prediction & Betting Tips (7 September)

Annan bring some phenomenal form into this fixture, having secured 15 victories in their last 19 Challenge Cup matches, including five in a row recently. The picture has been a very different one as far as Stranraer are concerned of late, with a run of seven defeats in nine games doing little to boost their survival chances in what threatens to be a hard-fought battle.

Stranraer have featured 17 times at home in the Challenge Cup during the current campaign, with under 3.5 goals being the order of the day in every single one of these fixtures. Given that this has also been the case in 15 of the 17 top-flight away matches played by Annan this term, then any deviation from this script would come as a surprise.

Both teams have found the net in just four of the most recent 17 Stranraer home fixtures at the top table of the Challenge Cup, whilst they have drawn a blank themselves in five of their last six Challenge Cup games overall. As for Annan, they have either kept a clean sheet or failed to score in five of their previous six away encounters at this elite level of the domestic game.
