SlipsTips shares a selection from Saturday's SPFL slate, with Stirling Albion's fixture with Stranraer at Forthbank the focus of attention.

Stirling Albion vs Stranraer (Saturday, 15:00)

Stirling Albion will look to ensure they remain hot on the heels of Scottish League Two leaders Dumbarton when they square off with Stranraer on Saturday.

Darren Young’s side have been in cold storage since New Year’s Eve – on an afternoon where they swept aside Stenhousemuir 3-1 – meaning they remain four points adrift of the Sons with a game in hand.

Meanwhile, sixth-placed Stranraer snapped a three-game losing streak in style by earning a 3-1 win at East Fife last weekend, although a fixture at Forthbank should represent an upgrade on their Methil challenge.

The money has started to come for Stirling who are now general 7/10 chances on Saturday, but we can get some 19/20 (Bet 365) on them to overcome a -0.75 start on the Asian Handicap and that looks like an enticing jump in price.

This selection would deliver a full pay-out if the Binos bag a victory by a minimum two-goal winning margin, with a half-stakes winner banked if the hosts succeed by a solitary strike.

Stirling have done the majority of their best work on home turf this term, having avoided defeat in eight of their nine league games, claiming top honours in five of their last six outings in front of their own supporters.

What’s more, Darren Young has the deadliest attack in the division at his disposal, with the Binos banging in 39 goals in 18 outings thus far, delivering multiple strikes on a league-high 12 occasions.

While Stranraer will certainly be buoyed by last week’s aforementioned victory at Bayview, that was their maiden league win on the road this season, not to mention the Blues have failed to keep their sheets clean in each of their 10 matches outside of their Stair Park home this season so far.

In fact, Jamie’s Hamill’s side hold the unenviable tag as the leakiest defence in Scottish League Two, shipping 39 goals in 21 matches to date, including 2+ in a sizeable 70% of their away games.

With all that in mind, backing title-chasing Stirling Albion to cover a -0.75 hurdle on the Asian Handicap holds plenty of appeal here at a value 19/20 (Bet 365).
