East Fife form and stats
3-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for East Fife so far this season.
The East Fife crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 3-4 to BSC Glasgow here at Bayview Stadium in a Scottish Cup match. In the preceding match a 4-2 victory visiting Dumbarton.
A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs BSC Glasgow) as a comfortable lead 3-1 was completely ruined into a loss 3-4.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
