Dunfermline Athletic, Recent FormDunfermline Athletic manager James McPake will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Ayr United.
It seems pretty certain that he will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 17 games overall.
Dunfermline will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Craig Wighton will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Dunfermline Athletic's last 6 league games.
Raith Rovers, Recent FormRaith Rovers manager Ian Murray will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Arbroath.
He will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 11 goals conceded in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 17 of their 18 games this season.
They are showing impressive form away from home with a run of 6 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten on their travels in 6 games.
In front of goal, Lewis Vaughan has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 6 times in that run of games.
It was one to forget for Dunfermline Athletic last time they met Raith Rovers in the league, falling to a 1-0 defeat.
Ahead of this match, Dunfermline won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 2 meetings against The Rovers. Playing away from home, Raith have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Dunfermline.
