The League One season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between East Fife and Dumbarton promises to be an interesting one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
East Fife form and stats
The first League One game here at Bayview Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season East Fife's home game statistics were 6 victories, 6 draws and 2 defeats from 14 games.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Montrose.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Fife matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and one defeat (from four games).
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Cup game versus Hearts in only three days. This game is also played here at Bayview Stadium.
At Bayview Stadium, East Fife has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Dumbarton form and stats
Dumbarton are still undefeated on their travels in the League One. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Dumbarton failed to get anything from their last game, a League One home match vs Airdrieonians (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 0-2.
Leading 2-0 was not enough for Dumbarton in their fight with Airdrieonians last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 0-2 loss.
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 Dumbarton playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, two draws and two home wins.
A quick return to home after this game, as Dumbarton are hosting Falkirk in the League Cup only three days away.
2 goals so far away for Dumbarton, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for East Fife, two draws and five wins for Dumbarton. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
