Clyde form and stats

Disaster struck Clyde last season as they could not defend their status as a League One team. With 22 defeats from 36 games, and only 5 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Clyde are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W4 D6 L8.

This is expected to be a close game, with Clyde perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Clyde as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Clyde has won 2 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.

East Fife form and stats

A job perfectly done for Fife last season as they secured promotion from League Two. With a grand total of 14 wins, 8 draws and 14 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 7 were in away matches.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with East Fife playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 3 East Fife wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
