East Fife

LWWLLL 📉

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Stenhousemuir in League One action, East Fife will be hoping to turn things around here.

Ross Taylor (34', 40'), Olly Whyte (50'), Dale Carrick (84') and Nicky Jamieson (90') scored for Stenhousemuir.

The numbers tell their own story, and East Fife have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 11 goals overall. Defensively, East Fife seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. Previous results aside, time will tell if such a trend might be sustained in this upcoming game.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A review of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 25/08/2018 reveals that these fixtures have been disappointments for East Fife. They have not been able to come away with any victories at all while Arbroath have just been too good for them, beating them in 83 per cent of those matches played.

A sum of 14 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 11 of them from The Red Lichties and 3 netted by The Fife. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.33.

ℹ️ Team News: Arbroath

There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Arbroath manager Colin Hamilton to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Ross Callachan (Hamstring injury) won’t play.

📰 Team News: East Fife

Due to a fully injury-free group available for selection, the East Fife boss Dick Campbell has zero fitness worries at all coming into this match.

🧠 Prediction

In this match, Arbroath should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

In contrast, East Fife may well find it hard to find the back of the net although we do think that they will probably end up scoring here.

We’re therefore expecting to see a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Arbroath come full-time.
