Raith Rovers, Recent FormAny Raith Rovers pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 3-2 away defeat by Arbroath.
Ian Murray will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 12 of their 13 played at Stark's Park this season.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Dunfermline Athletic, Recent FormThe Dunfermline Athletic squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Airdrieonians, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
Manager James McPake will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 22 of their 27 games overall.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing away from home this season, with 6 draws in 13 away league games.
Matty Todd will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Dunfermline Athletic.
It was not a positive ending for Dunfermline Athletic last time they met Raith Rovers in the league, with the game ending in a 1-2 defeat.
Raith have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Pars in each of their previous 2 meetings at Stark's Park. Raith have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with The Pars.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Raith has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Dunfermline in 3 games.
Sam Stanton has scored in each of Raith's last 2 league games against Dunfermline.
With no real injury worries, Raith manager Ian Murray will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Dunfermline manager James McPake has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
