East Fife form and stats

East Fife participated in League Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.

With 4 League One wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, East Fife are certainly not brimming with confidence.

East Fife played out a surprising defeat 2-3 against Cove Rangers in their previous outing, also a home game. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Cove Rangers) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3.

Before that game, the home loss against Cove Rangers with the scoreline 2-3.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for East Fife as they are travelling to their away game against Alloa Athletic in the League Cup. That match is three days after this one.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dunfermline Athletic so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 2-6-10 (win-draw-lose).

The manager McPake was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium East End Park. Dunfermline Athletic suffered a 0-1 loss to Queen's Park.

Ahead of that match was the Playoffs 2/3 away draw versus Queen's Park that ended 0-0.

A quick return to home after this game, as Dunfermline are hosting Buckie Thistle in the League Cup only three days away.

The visitors have scored 14 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Dunfermline Athletic's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 29 goals from these trips.
