Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Airdrieonians in 4th and East Fife in 6th place.
- Airdrieonians have the most scored goals in the first half (14) in League One
- East Fife have the fewest points (6) away in League One
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the League One.
Airdrieonians form and stats
When playing at home in the League One, Airdrieonians have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Airdrieonians after consecutive victories at their own ground.
A nice win for Airdrieonians last time playing, versus Forfar Athletic. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with K. Connell and C. Gallagher scoring for the victors. 2-2 away at Montrose before that.
A decent goal production from Airdrieonians in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 8 league matches. On the other hand, Airdrieonians have conceded 10 goals. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
