Match week two of the League Two campaign and the teams have done their adjustments after the first fixture. Here's the best East Fife - Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic preview:
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
East Fife form and stats
The season before, East Fife's league stats were 5 wins, 8 draws and 23 losses, resulting in 10th position in the League One. During these 36 matches they scored 31 goals and conceded 70. Playing at their own stadium in the last season East Fife managed 4-5-9 (win-draw-lost) with 17 goals and 26 conceded.
Happy days for East Fife in their previous game, a fixture away at Elgin City (placed 8th) that ended with a 3-1 victory.
