A new League One season is about to begin and this is the first proper game for Cove Rangers and East Fife. Bring it on!

The hosts Cove saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the League Cup. That game was an away game at Brora Rangers, so at least Cove are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Cove Rangers form and stats

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Cove matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from three games).

It's the first season at a new level for Cove as they were promoted from League Two last season. Happy days that were secured through 22 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from 28 games. The team scored 37 goals at home last season and conceded 7. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

East Fife form and stats

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Fife playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, one draw and zero home wins.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Fife have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeats from one fixture.

Let's have a look at how East Fife performed last season in the League One: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 9 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 44 and conceded 36 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 3 and lost 5 with 17/17 goals scored/conceded.
