Raith Rovers, Recent FormRaith Rovers won't feel too deflated by the 3-1 away defeat to Dundee, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table.
It seems pretty certain that Ian Murray 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 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at Stark's Park. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Raith camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
Lewis Vaughan 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 Raith Rovers.
Arbroath, Recent FormThe Arbroath squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Inverness CT, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
4 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they are proving that they are not easy to defeat.
Arbroath 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.
On an individual basis, Colin Hamilton will be looking to cause Raith Rovers some problems having scored 2 goals in Arbroath's last 6 away games in the league.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Arbroath who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-2 to Raith Rovers.
When playing away from home in the league, The Red Lichties have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against Raith.
In the league, Arbroath have not won any of their last 4 meetings with Raith.
With no real injury worries, Raith manager Ian Murray will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Arbroath manager Dick Campbell has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
