Partick's equivalent run looks different. Six wins, eleven draws and three losses over the same number of matches shows a side that rarely loses but also rarely wins. Their goals for and against (25 and 13) aren't far off Stenhousemuir's numbers, but the shape of the results points to a team that draws a lot of games rather than controlling them.

Stenhousemuir's win rate stands out more than any single scoreline.

Comparative Team Statistics: Partick vs Stenhousemuir

Head-to-head: recent meetings and older history

The most recent meeting came earlier this season in the league, with Stenhousemuir winning 1-0 at home. Before that, in the League Cup, the two drew 2-2 at Partick's ground.

Older meetings between these sides, stretching back to 2018, tend to favour Partick when the game was played at Stenhousemuir's ground, with wins by margins as big as 4-1. That history is worth knowing, but it involves different squads and seasons, so it doesn't tell us much about this current version of either team.

Where they sit in the Championship

In the current Championship table, Stenhousemuir are first with 19 points from seven games, built on six wins, a draw and no defeats. Partick are third with 12 points from the same number of matches, having won three, drawn three and lost one.

That's a seven-point gap after seven rounds, with Stenhousemuir conceding only two goals in the league so far against Partick's two as well - so this isn't simply about one side being better in one measure and worse in another. It's a broader gap in results.

How this one might play out

Partick have avoided defeat against Stenhousemuir at their own ground this season, drawing the cup tie 2-2, but they haven't beaten them either. Given Stenhousemuir's current league form and their position at the top of the table, Partick will need more than they've shown domestically to turn that draw into a win.

Stenhousemuir's away form within their overall record has been strong too, so there's little in the numbers suggesting they'll struggle just because the venue changes.
