The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. East Fife are in the 4th position while the guesting Peterhead worry at 7th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Two away games in a row for Peterhead, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 3-4 versus Montrose in the League One. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Dumbarton.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Montrose was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
