Raith Rovers, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Dundee United in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Raith Rovers last time out.
Manager Ian Murray will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Stark's Park.
They have been performing well at Stark's Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Lewis Vaughan will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Stark's Park, having notched up 5 goals for Raith Rovers in their last 6 league matches at home.
Dunfermline Athletic, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Ayr United will not have sat easily with the Dunfermline Athletic squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.
When it comes to attacking power James McPake will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Dunfermline will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
Craig Wighton will be hoping to create problems for Raith Rovers in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road 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 0-1 defeat.
Playing away from home, Dunfermline have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Raith.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Stark's Park in the league, but Raith will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings there.
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.
