Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Wee Rovers have scored 7, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

East Fife's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Fifers have hit 8 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Albion Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 26 games have yielded only 14 points.

East Fife are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 26 points from 27 matches.
