Airdrieonians, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Airdrieonians supremo Rhys McCabe after sustaining a heavy 4-0 away loss to Arbroath.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 17 games in a row, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at The Excelsior Stadium.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at The Excelsior Stadium, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.
When home matches come round at The Excelsior Stadium, Gabby McGill will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 7 goals in Airdrieonians' last 6 home league matches.
Raith Rovers, Recent FormRaith Rovers have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 home win against Inverness CT in their previous league match.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Ian Murray will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 8 goals in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 6 games.
Lewis Vaughan will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Raith Rovers.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Airdrieonians who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-1 to Raith Rovers.
The Airdrie defence has struggled against The Rovers in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 13 games. It's been a long time since Airdrie have managed to find the back of the net against The Rovers, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters. The Raith defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Diamonds in the league, with Raith conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
Raith will be looking to continue their winning streak against Airdrie, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 15 meetings.
Ross Matthews has scored in each of Raith's last 0 league games against Airdrie.
With no real injury worries, Airdrie manager Rhys McCabe will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Raith manager Ian Murray has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
