After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Raith Rovers and Greenock Morton in this fresh Championship season. Read our match 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.
Raith Rovers form and stats
Raith Rovers have only played one Championship game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 9 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat from 14 matches. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Rovers after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Raith Rovers travelled for their previous game, a trip to Dundee that ended 1-1. Before that match, a win away at Queen of the South.
The hometeam coach J. McGlynn made a successful contribution in the game against Dundee, bringing on F. Musonda who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rovers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Rovers as they have a new game in only three days, a League Cup match thankfully also at home. Inverness CT are visiting.
Early season league goal statistics from Raith Rovers's 1 home game: 3 goals, 0 conceded.
Greenock Morton form and stats
Greenock Morton have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Championship were 4 victories, 1 draw and 9 defeats from 14 fixtures.
Greenock go into this game after a win, the home game against Ayr United that ended 3-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Dundee wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
What a finish in the last match, as Greenock Morton came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through L. Strapp's goal in the 88th minute.
We have checked recent matches where Greenock have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were five victories, zero draws and seven defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Greenock now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Cup game at St. Mirren is waiting in only four days.
It's early days yet, but Greenock Morton has scored 0 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - one - three (Rovers wins - draws - Greenock Morton wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
